    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>
