Hello!

I would love to continue the discussion over at: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/136645299 regarding your addition of relations with only outer ways (ex: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/15953082#map=18/57.64039/-1.96913) vs leaving the ways as is.

Again, I currently think this is generally not great practice and would love to hear more from you about this practice. I don't see anything on the wiki (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:multipolygon) that supports editing the map in this fashion but perhaps I've missed something obvious. 

If there's no articulatable benefit, it would best to discontinue the practice.
