Hi. In general I think the maxspeed edits were very useful, in terms of how they help routing. I wouldn't want to lose them.
AFAIK the edits were not made by a bot login though. The content of these edits is in the public domain (I.e. the default residential speed limit in Australia) and these edits could be "re-edited" by an actual bot. Given that these edits are easy to identify, and the large number of ways, this might be a useful exercise. It would give us a clearer in terms of knowing which ways are really in need of re-mapping. - Ben.
