I'm in no way supporting the proposal, but this argument of 'it'll
make the entities look fully up to date" is illogical. If taken to
it's conclusion, nothing will ever be update again.<br>
<br>
It's false to think that just because an entity was amended
yesterday, it means it's up to date:<br>
If a typo in a road's name is amended, but the road is left
incorrectly tagged as 'tertiary' instead of 'primary' it's not up to
date.<br>
<br>
Likewise an entity previously amended 10 years ago doesn't mean it's
inaccurate.<br>

<div>Couldn't a bot be set to simply find all cases of

to human_made=, similar to using Find & Replace in
