Please also comment if you support this edit, in case of no response
at all edit will not be made as there would be no evidence that
this idea is supported.
There are 177,152 FIXME and 1,216,043 fixme according to Taginfo. I did
not have a closer look on the average age of FIXMEs and fixmes.
What's the benefit in this mechanical edit? It just sets the
last_modified attribute to a recent date and data consumers, mappers and
QA tools get the impression that the object is not old.
This is not a valid reason to not update: 'tagging incorrectly to suit
the validator/renderer...' etc
FIXME should make alarm bells ring in validator tools because its key
only contains uppercase characters.
Editors should have that alarm to prevent them being added in the first
place.
If you want to search for uses of FIXME, use the OSM Inspector. It
supports FIXME case-insensitive for about ten years now (even our new
C++ implementation does). It does not matter if you write FiXmE,
or FixmE. Btw, todo=* (lower case only) is also supported.
Great, but why the objection to a mechanical edit, rather than
individually? Doing it one by one still updates the last_modified
attribute.
