Again, I'm not asking to delete them *right now*. I'm checking if the
proposal is "fair" and is not breaking the "relations are not
categories" principle. If no, I could modify the wiki and recommend
some solutions (like using query the appropriate tags on the
collection itself instead of creating a relation for that). Existing
relations could be modified along the way when people are contribution
around them.
@Frank I agree that the wiki should formalize the practice but not all
practices in OSM have to be followed.
