A couple of different users have recently been removing all the tiger:*=*
tags from roads in the process of other edits to them.
One responded that it was because they were sometimes wrong (which is, of
course, true, for those roads that we've corrected) and that they did not
seem to provide any useful data. However, they also contain the original
breakdown of the prefix, root, and suffix before they got combined into the
name and then expanded by the balrog-kun bot - information which will be
useful in the majority of cases if we ever get back to splitting/standardizing.
AFAIK, we haven't (yet) agreed that these tags should be removed, right?
