[OSM-talk] Duplicate nodes incorrectly removed by bot BugBuster ?

[Apollinaris Schoell]

yes this a critical point. also tiger import created 2 nodes for
railways/boundary/road/powerline crossing each other. even if the layer tag
is missing they must not merge. instead a layer tag must be added.
a bot can never solve such a problem. only make it worse.
