That in a project to create an up to date map, there are people
involved who get upset over things changing is, indeed, weird. <br>

<div>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>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> It's false to think that just because an entity was
amended yesterday, it means it's up to date:<br>
</div>
<div> 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>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> 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
