I think you might be too conservative with the "version 1" requirement;
I think that you could probably drop any of these relations even if they
have higher version numbers.

It might be a bit out of scope for this iteration but you might also
want to consider, for a limited set of well-known relation types like
type=multipolygon and type=route, to drop those that don't have members.
It would be wrong to do that *generally* because I believe there is a
niche use case for relations with just tags and no members, but
certainly a multipolygon or route relation with no members makes little
sense.

Bye
Frederik
