Thanks for bringing the idea up. It actually did come up fairly recently on
Slack https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C029HV951/p1550176430103000
My view is that we would be missing an opportunity to have mappers review these
locations and update the areas concerned. These nodes exist mostly in
‘undermapped' / remote areas that could use some human mapper attention. So I’d
be in favor of trying to resolve this using some human driven cleanup first.
