While this is not possible, the potential presence of a serious "source" tag (e. g. cadastral) helps in general to avoid destruction. There are no real vandalisms on OSM (it is hard to see 'conflicts of opinion' like on Wikipedia for instance), rather, there may be errors with incorrect additions from newcomers, who then... come here to ask how to cancel ;-) Now, this situation may change with OSM expansion. Wikipedia added 'lockability' quite late, many years after the begginings IIRC. In brief: if you have input a lot of effort in an area, document it, quote your sources etc. --I won't dare to roughly update ;-) H.
