As a general concept this is bad but in many cases a very good idea. many tiger roads are completely wrong and there is absolute no value to keep any of the tags. if a mapper does a significant change and is essentially just keeping some nodes and the name tag then it's better to remove any reference to a bad source.
a lot of tags for tiger uploads have no benefit and can be removed too without loosing any valuable info. examples are tiger:source tiger:upload_uuid and probably also tiger:separated tiger:county, with county borders available this is no longer useful On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 10:12 AM, Alan Mintz <alan_mintz+...@earthlink.net<alan_mintz%2b...@earthlink.net> > wrote: > A couple of different users have recently been removing all the tiger:*=* > tags from roads in the process of other edits to them. > > One responded that it was because they were sometimes wrong (which is, of > course, true, for those roads that we've corrected) and that they did not > seem to provide any useful data.
