<p>People might object that:</p>

it has been</li>

1. Not valid. The list of versions of an entity clearly shows it's
history. Some software being unable to show the history or a user
being unaware of how to look it up, is *not* the responsibility of
the contributor making the edit.<br>
<br>
2. Not valid. A destination between 'popularity' (the tag most used
now) & majority (the tag most used overall). Being a majority
due to previous popularity doesn't make it best one to use today.
Changing a poorly conceived tag to a more useful, accurate one is a
*genuine* edit to improve the quality of the OSM database, not a
'fiddle'. <br>
