Looks like making a mountain out of a molehill.

All this could easily be avoided by following some simple polite rules:
- Don't leave deliberately untagged objects.
  Use at least a note or fixme to avoid that others waste their time.
- Don't touch anything which has been changed within the last day by another
mapper.
  The person might still uploading or working on it.
- Don't touch more complex objects for up to one month after change by
another mapper.
- Consider to contact the mapper at least for complex objects.

Improvements of these rules are highly welcome. Don't wait one month in this
case ;)

Happy mapping
Willi
