Wikimedia projects do that all the time. I > rarely see this in OSM (besides the http/https bot) We should be really reluctant, I see it all the time in wikidata: rubbish objects with lots of versions, mostly edited by bots, where the rubbish gets solidified until it seems even to a human that it might be somehow correct ;-) iD edits with the name suggestion index also come very close to automatic bot edits, because even if there is a mapper between iD and the db, in practice it doesn’t often seem to imply they are actually looking at it.
