Personally I think OSM suffers too much from automated edits already. I
am a big fan of people editing things while actually looking at them,
rather than doing a few "select-all/fix-all" keystrokes without even
knowing what gets fixed.
I hope that we will get to a point where problems in OSM are fixed by
humans who care for the data at that specific location. The knee-jerk
reaction "oh, there's a problem, let's think of ways to fix that
automatically" creates an atmosphere in which everyone waits for someone
else to fix it automatically.
I am very much in favour of banning all automatic or semi-automatic
editing, including "search and replace" operations.
With very few, individually discussed and community ok'd exceptions.
Bye
Frederik
