[Talk-us] Need advice on a project i've taken on

[Walter Nordmann]

In Germany we say: don't touch an object just for cleanup.

Cleanup without any other modifications (e.g in geometry)  will change 
the timestamp of that object (last changed!!!) and somebody may think: 
this way has been modified last week - so i don't need to check the 
geometry or the speed limit or something else.

Ok, if you really change something, THEN you should cleanup old/unused tags.
