Hello,

Jonathan Masur has added a larger number of historic municipality boundaries in the canton Vaud, breaking a fair number of real boundaries in the process, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/53490105#map=14/46.5737/6.7725
Any Objections to reverting all of this?
yes, 3 :
- first let him have some time to answer in stead of "reverting
the changesets in a couple of hours"
- the changeset you show doesn't any added boundary... boundary already
exist in the history of those 3 relations. what's broken precisely ?
- in the area I map a lot, after the merge of municipaly, you delete old
boundary, because, as read on the wiki "il is clean to not having to maintain old boundary". but in fact, removing historical boundary has made me lose hours : many track change their name according to the old municipal boundaries. the postal addresses of buildings depending (largely) on the old comunal boundaries. Old boundaries are so useful that I have a josm file with their way that I load every time I need it. I find it useless and counterproductive that these info are lost in osm while keep them would require less effort (no maintenance as it will not change anymore, maybe just prefix with disued) I was thinking about opening a topic about it, but it's probably an opportunity to talk about it now.
I'm still looking at the changeset and.. woaw you already revert it.... so why asking ? it's really a VERY bad way to do
+1
Agree. I would never delete old boundaries, as they might server later on for historical purposes, e.g. If somebody wants to do a map showing the development of community mergers in Switzerland.
cheers, h.
