One of the attached changesets indicates that the purpose was to separate administrative boundaries from roads, whereas recently I have been tagging administrative boundaries with keys for highways or waterways that follow the same course. Is there a consensus on the right way to go on this?

It doesn't matter what specifically happens to the boundaries
themselves, but it's rather easy to break the admin boundary relations
either by merging admin segments, but I'm not sure what happened in
the cases I've mentioned, although it appears segments were deleted
from the boundary, not just splitting the ways as I had to re-add
them.
