Get rid of the “name” tag(s) in OSM? Absolutely not.

It makes everything massively more complicated, there is very little 
benefit, and Wikidata's CC0 licence allows data to be privatised, unless 
the commons nature of OSM's ODbL.

Why not get rid of the `wikidata` tag and instead merge all wikidata 
attributes into OSM tags instead? Then things become easier to deal with.
