Nor do I, but that wasn't the case until this week, so there are many, many examples where it has been done manually, that will be a severe pain and many hours of work to fix. If the comments about MapNik are right - that is it only puts a node if there isn't one already, that's perfectly OK. But if Osmarender can't do that, there's a serious problem about making a non-upward-compatible change like this. > > The same arguments apply to most areas.

I have put the school node at the place where the main part of the school is, which is rarely anywhere the centree of extensive school grounds. Same comment applies - if it can be done so that a manual node takes precedence, fine, if not I think it is a retrograde step, and in this case will take even longer to fix.
