[OSM-talk] Commenting and thumbs up/down feature for changesets

[Peter Wendorff]

I would (first) prefer the other way around:
I would like to see a facility (or even API feature) to avoid the need 
to change an object for setting it as valid.
Something like: yes, this pub exists and the tags (or even better: the 
marked tags) are valid up to $NOW

If changesets like the one you mentioned are for "refreshing" objects, 
that would be a much better solution, I guess.

regards
Peter
