I also agree that putting notes in the tags are helpful to some of us that
are armchair mappers. I will see the tags sooner than the history data. I

in P2 (does anyone still use that? I do, b/c I don't like iD), you can't
see them and some mapper might not get the message in the note. Personally,
pretty much all my edits are armchair mapping, but it's generally in my

areas so that the usual editors (id, potlatch2, josm) can flag them
as places where aerial imagery is out of date.
also, Mike N had suggested highway:disused. instead, maybe

I believe at some point there was, or at least there was discussion of
implementing, a way to mark areas where the aerial imagery is out-of-date.
Unfortunately I'm drawing a blank on any further development from there,
but that would seem to be the best solution all-around (having cleaned up a
Imagery is only out of date if something was (de)constructed since the
imagery was collected that would affect how that area is accurately
mapped. Therefore to me it makes more sense to tag the newer objects
rather than entire areas with a specific tag that editors would pick
up and act upon
