[Talk-us-massachusetts] Let's delete MA imported massgis: attributes

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

When editing objects with JOSM it's discouraging to have to scroll through
a lot massgis attributes to find the "real" tags.


Here's an example, it takes 5 mouse clicks just to scroll through the list
in JOSM.

access=yes
area=yes
created_by=change_tags.py - massgis short_names 0.1

Taginfo says there are 28,573 things tagged massgis:DCAM_ID
<https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/massgis%3ADCAM_ID>=0, what the heck
does DCAM_ID mean.

I'd like to suggest we decide which tags have value and delete the rest
with a bot.
Maybe some of them could be converted to common OSM tags.

Does anyone agree, or see any reason to keep these tags?
