generally I agree with you, but there might be edge cases. I looked this up in the wiki because someone on the italian ML asked what to do with a aerialway=cable_car, where the pylons and the cable have been removed, but the stations still exist, and the current tagging for the way was disused=yes and aerialway=cable_car. I answered that I'd remove the way, but in alternative he could retag it to removed:aerialway=cable_car and cancel the misleading disused attribute. This way there would remain trace of the former feature and the stations would be remain in context. cheers, Martin
