In the Github discussion referred to above, SimonPoole stated: "Source tags on objects have not been considered good practice for a long time (with some limited exceptions)."
Simon, I presume your intention is to strengthen the preference for using source tags on changesets rather than on objects but I would like some clarification. I have used source:position and source:name on hundreds of objects I've tagged. A given object can be located and named using a variety of sources besides Bing; physical road signs, USGS Topo maps, personal surveys, etc. I believe it's helpful for mappers who work in the same areas as me to know where I got names and positions of objects. Can you expand and clarify your comment for me?
