[OSM-dev] Reserve node 2147483647

[Peter Wendorff]

Hi.
Why should that prevent errors in software not handling 64bit ids correctly?
I don't think any software requires all possible ids in between to exist 
- even for the whole planet.
So it's not different wether 2147483647 is missing or 42.

regards
Peter
