Not only that, but such boundaries are useful to save adding is_in=*
tags to everything...

These shouldn't really become the focus of an edit war, but they can
be painful to deal with when they follow similar paths to roads and
other similar man mad features, but this is a bigger issue and as long
as they are tagged properly at least they can be hidden in JOSM these
days...
