If I'm mapping I try and keep nodes intact and edit the tagging to preserve the ID and history, but there are cases where this can't happen. For example I know a map that closed and got removed from the map (it looked like it would be converted to houses rather than re opened), but it reopened and I had to add it as a new node.</div>
