#3777: Potlach 2 doesn't warn, when corrupting relations

* priority: critical => minor
* type: defect => enhancement
Comment:
a) This is not remotely critical.
b) "Corruption" is not remotely the right word. Are the relations still
well-formed? Yes. Therefore they are not corrupted.
c) In most cases, Potlatch 2 renders ways that are part of relations
(routes, turn restrictions, multipolygons) differently. It is therefore
easy for the user to see the effect of their actions. Several years'
experience shows me that accidental merges of a relation-ed way with
another are almost entirely done in JOSM, which AIUI until the new P2-like
MapCSS rendering didn't actually show relation-ed ways differently at all.
For example, http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/8198740 was
mending extensive damage to a route relation by a JOSM user. Generally I
have to do this several times a week.
d) If you there is a particular type of relation that is not adequately
rendered in P2 and so the user can't see what they've done, please cite it
here, rather than coming up with a vague handwavy ticket like this.
e) Popping up warnings ("Do this! Look at that! Do the other") is terrible
UI and is generally ignored by most people.
f) Please learn to spell Potlatch, kthxbye.
