I am strongly in this camp. I have not seen any actual harm or problem 
presented for 1.3 million fixme tags yet. But there is the potential for 
problems if removed.

Even fixme=yes tags convey information: Someone felt something was in 
question about that node/way/polygon. That is not insignificant information.
