The last time I tried upgrading a tag (a few weeks ago) iD still didn't
give any
summary of what if was going to change.  The only way to tell was to look at
the complete tag list before upgrading and compare it with what you got
after
upgrading.  Too much hassle.

Many people will just assume iD is correct when it suggests an upgrade and
just accept it.  But that may not be the case.  The suggestion may be wrong
in
a particular case or it may be wrong in almost every case.  The developers
of
iD sometimes go their own way, much to the consternation of some in the
community.
