The user Ropino is making some sort of cleanup edits to large parts of
the planet:

What follows is a mail I sent to him on the site. But it would be
useful to get more eyeballs on these edits.

Hello there.

Firstly when you're making mass-edits that span most of the planet and
get announced to hundreds of people can you please specify in more
detail what you're fixing/changing than saying "corrections".

I've looked at some of the edits you're making and some of them seem
to be removing tags, e.g.:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/25310980/history

It's obvious to anyone looking at that data that one=yes was supposed
to mean oneway=yes. So that edit shouldn't have been made, any human
looking at that data would know to change the tag instead of removing
it (perhaps you're using JOSM's validator?)

Perhaps these edits are OK. But I don't have time to check them.
