<p>I'm curious as to why a new user in their first changeset would
make changes to such an arcane piece of tagging. What prompted
them?</p>

I've never seen the point of them & have removed a few when
full addressing has been added.<br>
This is another example of relations being used just to collect
'things' together.<br>
<br>
The positives for using them are tenuous. <br>
"adding information... only once" and "reducing the potential for
spelling mistakes." is moot as multiple buildings can be select to
edit as one, or the 'replicate' key can be used.<br>

<div>I'm asking because a new user has appeared in my neck of
the woods and removed all buildings from eight different
associatedStreet relations - with his/her first eight
changesets! I'm not sure I have the energy to follow-up more
than I've done already. <br>
