[Talk-us] Drop the tiger:reviewed tag from roads

[Bryan Housel]

I agree it would be great to get rid of `tiger:reviewed`. 
I proposed this for iD 3 years ago but received some pushback:  https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2697 <https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2697>

I would be ok if it were removed via a mechanical edit.

As an aside, I think it would be great to move to a GitHub/Slack based workflow for mechanical edits and imports so ideas like this don’t get lost.  
Even if the broader OSM community wants to keep their discussions on wiki/mailinglist, we can change what we do for US-scoped edits to work a bit more efficiently.
 
Thanks Bryan

It's on version 6 yet still has tiger:reviewed=no. Note I picked this street at random from a overpass query [2]. I see this tag all the time. It's time to get rid of it. Not through a mechanical edit, but by editors making changes to roads.
