You're blaming the community for a software issue here, and that's a little
unfair to the community.  If iD or potlatch or whatever are that broken,
then fucking fix iD and Potlatch.  There's zero reason relations should be
harder to use than nodes and ways.  If it is, then the software is Doing It
Wrong.
