[OSM-talk-be] Still 296 phone booths in Belgium

[Sander Deryckere]

It's better to do it manually. It wouldn't surprise me if some emergency
phones are tagged (wrongly) with this tag. So a manual correction could
find these.

Meanwhile, it doesn't bother me too buch that these are still present.
Everyone in Belgium knows that there are no more public phones, so nobody
will search for these.

It does however show a bigger problem: it's very difficult to notice that
something is removed in real-life, and adapt OSM to reflect the reality.
Now we know these phones are removed. But the same would hold for all other
types of POI.

SAnder
