[OSM-talk] anonymous contributions still allowed ?

[Pieren Pieren]

Hi all,
By accident, I found some contributions made in March 16th this year but
with some mistakes.

As usual, I wanted to contact the person but I was surprised to see that
this recent edition is anonymous:
http://crschmidt.net/osm/history.html?type=way&id=23316471

Potlach history just says 'anonymous'. The way was created with JOSM.
I thought that such anonymous editions are not possible since Nov. 2007.

I suspect that this person was registered before this date. Is it possible
that such people have a kind of 'privilege' and can stay anonymous for ever
?
