I can certainly see arguments for that (I was around at the time the tag 
was introduced and never exactly understood what "denotation=cluster" 
was supposed to be for), but suspect that a consultation with some of 
the other mappers using it since would make sense.

If you're getting rid of _all_ "denotation=cluster" worldwide then the 
wiki page that currently says "This was a mechanical edit based on 
proximity to other trees." needs changing.

Well if the aim was to just undo the original mechanical edits  that 
would of course still be an option - not by looking at " node last 
touched by" but by looking at the node lists from the original 
mechanical edit changesets.
