Assuming this is fixing a typeo and nobody is arguing that
building:level is the right tag, this is an automated edit, not an
import.

Personally I have no objection to it, just make sure to be careful
around the edge cases. e.g. when both building:level and
building:levels are tagged.

I know this is pretty common in OSM, and I do it to. But it annoys me,
and actually obscures things. Personally I'd vote for 1 changeset.
