-1, there are several established tags for residential buildings in osm, e.g. 
apartments, and as the example shows, it isn’t possible to reliably identify 
terraced houses just by analyzing the geometry, so
why would we want to remove the details? If someone is only interested in a 
detail level like “residential”, they won’t have to care about the differences 
in meaning and can normalize them all locally to residential.
