I disagree, what you're seeing is a result of a redaction logic based
on individual OSM entity's history.  As Frederik wrote in an email
probably over two years ago, anything relying on the object Id
persistence is outright broken.  This is exactly what the bot logic
relied on and fixing it will require heuristics.

Tagging entire changesets is at least equally broken because it
"infects" the clean edits in the changeset, while objects who's Id
changes later may be wrongly detected as clean.  It's a bigger
tradeoff.
