[talk-ph] Proposal to delete the imagery coverage outlines from the OSM database

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hi guys,

I propose to delete the imagery coverage outlines that are currently
in the OSM database (most are tagged with the special
"outline=imagery" tag). Since we already have an imagery coverage
map[1], I think that there's no longer any need to retain these
outlines in the database, especially since they clutter up editing,
are inadvertently joined to streets and roads by users, and they don't
correspond to anything real on the ground and therefore do not really
belong in the database in the first place..

If there's new imagery, we just trace the outlines and then I can take
them and merge them into the coverage map.

What do you think?
