[Talk-us] NE2 doing mass retaggings

So NE2 just did a bunch of "work" on Kansas highway relations.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/NE2/edits

Some of it was ok but he also removed the name=* tag from the
60-something relations I have already done. I know that the name tag
isn't really needed for some of these relations but it is a well
established tag and shouldn't be removed because of personal
preference. Nearly half of all route=road relations have a name=* tag.

He also created some kind of temporary placeholder relation that is
presumably only of use to him:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1798794

He has imposed his personal tagging preferences on an area he is not
familiar with and removed data of another mapper without consultation.
Is there any reason I shouldn't revert these changes?

Toby
