Every edit of OSM Fixer was announced on the Dev list. What fixer did
was address the database corruption. The *only* thing that happened was:

request way with all nodes
add tags
commit it back


Now you wonder how is it possible that data is deleted. Basically
because the nodes didn't exist in the database anymore.
