The relation issue has been reported almost two years ago.

This fact makes me to suggest everyone, every newbie, not to use iD.

From my point of view, there is huge difference in opinion between iD
developers and the mappers who clean up after an iD mapper has damaged
something. There are some cases where the "Don't confuse the user by
popup warnings" (it seems that this is the development goal of iD) does
not work. Relations are an example.

I can just laugh out loudly.

Best regards
