[Tagging] converted_by : discardable ?

[Mateusz Konieczny]

Based on my experience with 

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/remove_is_in:continent_in_USA

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/elimination_of_osmarender:nameDirection

it is much easier to get tag deprecated or declared as discardable than
it is to get permission for mass edit.

So nowadays, in case of removing without replacement I am in general
not even trying to go for a global bot edit, as it is far less efficient.
