For background: this is pretty much essential to the functioning of the
redaction bot. The previous behaviour was inconsistent with the rest of the
API - deleted ways and relations don't return any content - so this didn't
seem the most outrageous change to work.

In an ideal world we would like to have given more warning. But as a former
JOSM maintainer has proudly proclaimed beforehand "Software whose
programmers whine about having to make a change deserves to die, or be
banned", then I have no doubt that JOSM will, as ever, rise to the
challenge.

(Frederik and I love each other really.)
