While that doesn't sound unreasonable...

..this page actually lists many more tags that you propose to change.  
You're going to remove 9413 ele tags; why?  No doubt at some point 
someone decided that "lake:shore_length:miles=2" was a useful thing to 
record, and you want to remove it.  Why?

I have a suggestion: break your proposed edits into smaller chunks.  
For example, in this case, propose an edit that *only* makes the 
'intermittent' change that I've quoted above.  Then propose separate 
edits that make each of the other changes.
