[OSM-talk] Who mapped it first with ref to forth coming deletions

[Simon Poole]

Yes.

There are a large number of situations were depending on

- sequence of edit operations
- intermediate upload and generation of new object ids

you will get different owners of objects.

This is why it is highly likely that split and mergers will not be
taken in to account in any automatic cleaning of the database
on the switch over.

Essentially we will have some symmetrical collateral damage.

But obviously if you mapped the way, you can go back and
fix the problem -now-.
