We can never exclude that kind of thing. Person X is fed up
about traffic passing his house : just delete that road on
OSM.

What I think we can agree on is that is not the policy and
intent of the OSM project to do these kind of things, but that
at the same time be honest about the fact that we have little
leverage over our contributors to actually follow that intent
or policy.
