[OSM-talk] razed railways and other things that don't exist today

[Mateusz Konieczny]

I would mention

- it is OK to temporarily map ones not visible on aerial images but likely to be mistakenly
remapped
- "can safely be removed" - would change that it not only can be removed, but also
should be removed

Once the OSM available satellite imagery does not show the feature the feature can safely be removed from OSM. Renders cannot rely on OSM preserving physically vanished history."
