The problem then is you have to completely remove a way, and recreate
it, and usually recreate all nodes from objects connecting to it when
you are often just mechanically repeating what the original creator did
in first place. This doesn't seem to me to add any further validity to
the process, just expends labour.
I'm not saying "I could have mapped it", but "I have checked what
changed and explicitly verified it against independent sources".
