How about:

aeroway=aerodrome


aeroway=aerodrome
aerodrome:rpt=no


aeroway=aerodrome
aerodrome:ga=no
aerodrome:rpt=no

(the default being both rpt and ga = yes, on the basis that anyone
mapping smaller airfields is likely to know enough to add these
details)

Or I guess we could have "airport" being RPT, "aerodrome" being GA,
and "airfield" being others...but really, if the precise, unambiguous
terms are RPT and GA, it's probably better to just use those.

But I think this is still a side issue to the importance thing. Having
a split between RPT and non-RPT airports is clearly a useful thing,
but doesn't completely solve it.
