[OSM-talk] Bing coverage relations, in particular 1298962

[SomeoneElse]

I noticed this while looking at the map here:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=32.001059&lon=34.825519&zoom=18&layers=M

The  "Hires coverage of Bing imagery in the Near East" label is from the 
name on this relation:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1298962

Regardless of the "perhaps the map shouldn't render unknown things just 
because of name=blah" issue, I'd argue that metadata such as this really 
doesn't belong in OSM.  I've messaged the three previous editors of this 
relation and two haven't objected to it's removal (the other one hasn't 
replied).  Can anyone put forward a good reason why it should be kept?

There are, of course, a number of other relations on this page:
