I've been ranting about this on this ML a few months ago. Back then I also
located each and every one of them (with Overpass API) and dragged them off
the highways. I think it was OsmAnd that expected them as nodes on the way,
but that has since then been resolved on their side.

I don't know when I'd have time to check, and especially respond to them. I
think I'll have to choose my 'battles' and I'm concentrating on keeping the
route relations correct and up-to-date. That's something which can be
achieved nation wide, I think. Once I start doing the same for cycle and
walking routes, it should highlight problems caused by newly arriving
mappers at that level. Hopefully it will also lead to finding people with
an interest in these various route relations and with a willingness to help
maintain them.

The history viewer is great. Thanks for letting me know about it. It will
come in handy, I'm sure.
I looked at an edit of myself, realigning the entire bus station of
Aarschot on a grid, (which is probably exaggerated, but it makes the
rendering look really nice, while stil adhering to what's actually present).
Unfortunately I can't zoom in far enough for the differences to show up in
a meaningful way.
