Most probably the boundary will not move. But we also have many cases where
boundaries are moving but not the features (e.g. parcels transfer from one
municipality to another).
That's not the question. I see that you are against sharing nodes in general
because it makes corrections harder (although with JOSM you can easily
unglue nodes or you can also delete the way and create a new one when these
changes are required).
So how do you draw adjacent buildings ? you also draw them unglued because
every day, some buildings are somewhere destroyed or modified, then we
should never glue nodes because it possibly will make the next contributor
life a little bit harder when he/she will fix the building ?
