In my view - the reason apple is mapping private tennis courts, is not
because it actually sees a benefit in mapping peoples backyard, it's
because it's using a level of automation that recognises them.  For OSM
it's nothing more than a colouring-in exercise.

I agree with Andrew that marking a building next to a private swimming pool
as anything other than "building=yes", almost always calls for pure
speculation.  Whether it's a pool shed, cabana or outside dunny.
