If you're scared of the tiger tags, just remove them.  They're
basically pointless anyway.  Anyone who wants to know the history of a
way can use the history feature.

I have to agree with Dave Hansen that the TIGER road import did more
good than harm.  But there's a lot to be learned from it.  And the
TIGER address information is not comparable, because it's not even the
same concept as the one people want in OSM.
