Using way id 13292685 :
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/13292685 , I looked at the
edits. In this case, some nodes were moved, presumably to align with
the aerial imagery. I couldn't find any GPS tracks in the immediate
area to confirm the aerial alignment. The node I looked at was moved
at least 10 meters.
So, the redaction bot will not completely destroy those areas. If no
one has touched the road alignment since his work, it will just revert
back to the original TIGER upload coordinates. All that is required
after the redaction bot will be to nudge the nodes to the location where
they belong.
A fast preemptive remap for nodes set for redaction-move would be to
just move the node to align with current Bing aerial. Note that the
Bing aerial alignment might not be perfect - try to find some GPS tracks
in the area to see how close it is. There should be some tracks on the
nearest interstate.
