I concur with this.<br>
<br>
I'd much rather have an up to date map. Part of OSM's USP is its
quick turnarounds.<br>
<br>
I disagree with Frederik's claim that changing one entity would
"destroy the valuable information that this general area of the map
hasn't been updated".<br>
It seems perverse to want to keep an area of the map inaccurate. <br>
<br>
Can't speak for everyone, but I would edit my local one from my
armchair. No need to visit as all the details are provide online
from local news feeds.<br>
So individual or mechanical edits make little difference.<br>
<br>
On balance I think a store tagged as disused is more likely to
attract updates than one that's inaccurately tagged as open.<br>

<div dir="auto">I agree that a <b>blank</b> map encourages new

we do get a new mapper its most likely to be a single edit
