[Tagging] openGeoDB* discardable ?

[Mateusz Konieczny]

Given how many of them are (<20 000) I think that bot edit removing
them would be a good idea.

I see a point of making tag discardable if there are say 100 000 000 uses
of it, but at this volume bot edit seems preferable over slowly removing it over
centuries as other edits are being made.
