Yes there are such vandals, and they will ignore everything.
But since i have used source tags, my work gets vandalised much less.
Furthermore, the changeset comments are pretty useless in this area.
When I am mapping in an unfamiliar area, I try to assess whether my
information is better than the current mapping. I use a rather accurate
gps unit, photography and gps tagged video as my primary data, usually
also checking on imagery, and the public gps traces. Obviously I check
on the source tags, and sometimes check the changeset comments if in
doubt. However, mapping already takes far too much time, and there is no
way that I am going to consult every changeset for each object I modify.
But I can't help seeing any source tag. They are needed!

As above, I need then to avoid trampling on other people's
work.
