I had been meaning to express my concerns over dataOne with the list, although as I added a new changeset comment yesterday and pm'd him about one from last week which he has not responded to, I was waiting for one more edit that so far hasn't happened.
My concern has been over a very large number of maxwidth=2 in Kent, it feels wrong, I am not in Kent to verify but would be surprised if Kent is that far out of step with other UK LAs. In http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/34325458 comments Zain Ahmad Hashmi mentions PIE mapping, which is is for commercial truck routing. My suspicion is that he is using the legal maxwidth tag to block roads to HGVs, even where there is no maxwidth in force. A max width of 2m will restrict tractors and some range rovers.
