[Tagging] RFC: Removal of Eruvs from OSM, and further boundry=religious

[Greg Troxel]

When people who are local on the ground are mapping something that they
care about, I think we shouldn't press too hard about the edge of
verifiability.  In general I think we are too prickly about that.  I see
verifiability as more complicated than a hard yes/no line, and I think
it's fine to have things that require more effort and understanding to
verify.   There's a difference between "an ordinary mapper could not
possibly figure this out" and "an ordinary mapper who really cared about
this point could not only look but interact with locals to understand
and learn how to look".

Having eruvs in OSM is not our big problem.   I think deletionism in
general is far more serious, especially because it tends to drive away
contributors.
