Not really. There is not a consensus but a ceasefire. Everyone is free to map this as they like, and to change it if there's a need - e.g. someone else has connected the field to the road, now you want to map the fence, so you need to split it apart. That's ok. Similarly, someone re-doing the whole area from better imagery or whatever has every right to map as he pleases - if they thing they can be more efficient by joining boundaries, more power to them. What is *not* ok is one person "cleaning up" after the other without actually adding any other improvement. I.e. if the other guy has connected the fields and the roads and you have been *only* pulling them apart without contributing anything else to the area in question, then you should have let them be; on the other hand, if the other guy has merged fields and roads that previously were separate, then they shouldn't have done that. This whole question is essentially a matter of taste, and you are allowed to map according to your taste, and discouraged from enforcing your taste for others.
