It's only occurring again because he's been told that changing roads to
DataSA classifications will result in further blocks.
And yeah, as Daniel has said, this is a pointless edit that offers no real
improvements, and realistically seems like an attempt for one mapper to
continue mapping the way they want to, as per previous efforts. The data
exists elsewhere in a very usable format, so it's not as if it's helping to
put together some kind of dataset that doesn't yet exist, and I don't see
it being used by any current or future data consumer outside of some kind
of academic/research oriented output (which I would expect would take
DataSA's dataset over us).
Thanks,
