Hi http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/12742505
I created a multi-polygon (1754193) with an outer, & a couple of inners to represent a riverbank with an island (there are other members, but not relevant to this enquiry).
To the West of this is a closed way to represent the continuation of the riverbank. This is contiguous with the multi-polygon where they shared a couple of nodes so there were two way segments on top of each other.
The latest editor has split both the closed way & outer polygon, deleted one of the overlapping ways & added the remaining way to both the outer way & a newly created multi-polygon (2338583) as a substitute for the closed way.
Why has the editor done this? Is there a new preferred reason for doing this? To me it seems a pointless exercise that adds nothing but makes it more confusing for any future editor, especially putting a previously closed way into a multi-polygon.
He's done this on numerous occasions around the South of the UK. He seems to think that overlapping ways is bad but his edits appear a bit random - notice he doesn't do a similar edit to the East of the multi-polygon.
