Hello,

we're talking about a case where existing data in the database is completely wrong (because two banks merged, and several branches closed as a result of the merger).

This bug report is not negotiable. It is not a mere suggestion that can be talked out of in the sense of "no, there's no need to correct this, we will just leave the wrong information in the database". It is wrong information and so it must be surveyed and corrected. Bug reports are not wishes or prayers that depend entirely on the good will of the OSM gods, they are (or at least, should be) notices that there's incorrect information in the database that must be corrected.

Sorry, but if the consensus among stuff is that bug reports are not allowed anymore, I will have no choice but to quit my contributions to OSM for good.
