To me, this is on par with "well-meaning new mapper copies data from
Google believing it is ok". It is something where we have to make a
good effort to explain to people that they shouldn't do it, and if it
turns out somebody has misunderstood, or made a mistake, then we have
to fix that.

I don't see *many* people using history to look for extra features to
re-animate.
