[talk-au] Boundary ways/relations

[Stephen Hope]

I have a question about the suburb boundary ways that have been
imported for Australia a while back.

The boundary ways often follow a road, or the coast, or a stream or
river.  Some of the ways are other things, as well as a boundary (a
stream, for example)  but some of the boundary ways are basically
duplicating a way that is also there separately.  In these situations,
what is preferred, to leave the boundary way there, or to move the
boundary relation(s) to the other way, and remove the boundary way for
that section?  If we do this, which tags from the import should be
moved to the other way?

I know this was discussed in a while back.  But I lost track of what
the final decision was.
