This sounds like the SCOTUS just reaffirmed a case for indian
reservations being tagged as admin_level=3, if we're tagging for
accurate status and not for the renderer. Thoughts?

Having read through the decision, it's about tribal immunity for acts
outside Indian* territory.
Do you propose cutting the areas out of the states, i.e. so that IRs are
not in any admin_level=4 relations? That's what you have to do if you're
fitting IRs into the admin_level hierarchy.
