I also think that such changes also imply corrections to the following section regarding how importance is to be assessed by mappers:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway#Assumptions Particularly this sentence: "In a region with poor infrastructure, a road of highest importance, forming the main road network there, should be highway=trunk, regardless of being a high-quality wide asphalt road or a low-quality narrow track worse than highway=service in other regions." The consensus here seems not aligned with this. This section also references the following proposal: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Highway_key_voting_importance Whose summary says: "the general definition of highway=* should be changed to importance for the road grid (hierarchical position in the interconnecting network) instead of physical attributes" What is missing is a statement about whether one starts judging such networks by importance from the top (trunk downwards) or from the bottom (tertiary upwards).
