All sounds great to me, although it would be usefull to add start_dates to
them to keep track of this history; one day it'll be usefull to some
people; I'm sure of that - one of the oSoc teams here could even use
startdates of each municipality (If they find it somewhere, I might add
them to OSM).


Met vriendelijke groeten,
