It seams in New Zealand that these were originally tagged as aerodromes
but they were changed to airstrip to stop the rendering of so many
aerodromes at low zoom levels.
If you were looking for textbook examples of tagging for the renderer
this would be an ideal candidate.
Tagging them as aerodromes for me implies some services
Why? An aerodrome is an "area on land or water intended to be used
either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and surface movement
of aircraft"[1]. The only service guaranteed at an aerodrome is the
ability to arrive or depart by air and even then that depends on your
aircraft.

Slightly off topic - youtube video
Landing at Ononge Papua New Guinea. Note the approach over the village,
clearly showing;
why there are no 'residential' roads and why there are so many showing
up in the tool for 'missmapped villages'.
why they are not aerodromes
Why is this not an aerodrome? It's got a cleared area that's been
levelled and marked out for landing and take off and a windsock to let
you know which way the wind is blowing. Not only that, Ononge has been
assigned ICAO (AYQQ) and IATA (ONB) codes.
[1] This doesn't quite line up with aeroway=aerodrome as the OSM
definition leaves out the intent part.
