Yep, that would be useful info indeed. Not sure how 'collectible' it would be though. The (dirt) road that I live on is graded reasonably frequently but I could not tell you how many times per year or when it was last done. And I live on that road ! > AFAIK the major issue with rendering changes is resources to implement > them.

I have built a mapnik and pgsql system on my laptop using the OSM config files. Its trivial to include new tags into the rendering database. (Although unfortunately, "4wd_only" has some technical issues.) Getting Mapnik to then render them is more a matter of agreeing on how to do it than actually doing it IMHO. Sadly, our desired "dashed casing" is already used for tunnels, but possibly a different colour will work, or dashed infill ? But importantly, we can copy, in part, how its done for a tunnel. Issue really is these guys will have some pretty heavy change controls in place. And there will be some pressure to not add anything unless its really proved essential, every extra bit of processing slows each refresh. So, we need a really good case rather than clever coding I'm afraid.
