Any fixme in wide use I'm not interested in deleting.
I'd strongly oppose the mechanical deletion of "low volume" fixme values. Mappers local to me often use individually worded fixmes describing something that needs investigation. By definition these values are "not in wide use", but definitely should be kept. If I'm going to be in an area I always load the local notes and fixmes onto the Garmin so that if I'm near something that needs some attibute checking, I know about it.

I may be missing something here, but what actually is the benefit of this? Even in the situation where a problematical import brought in lots of Palm Trees but not their species (or whatever) the "fixme" tag is still serving a useful purpose - in this case "this data was imported by a problematical import".
How will removing any "fixme" tag make the actual _data_ in OSM better? It'll just make it harder for people editing it to determine what is good data and what isn't.
