User hornbydd2 has been making large numbers of edits to waterways in
the UK which have created loads of problems in relations, including
admin boundaries. 

I haven't yet heard what the intention of these edits is. It seems to be
to split waterways at all junctions with other waterways, e.g. where a
stream joins a main flow. In any case the splits are causing the
problem: the tags on the way get copied over, but the relation
memberships are not. Net result is a whole bunch of broken relations. I
think they are considering how to fix up the damage, but I feel a revert
may be the path of least resistance... 

I started a discussion about one changeset, but I now see the issue goes
much further, both geographically and in terms of the types of objects
which may be impacted:
