Andy,
I think there is a lot of positives in the new rendering as well. I
for one am delighted to see some life back in the "standard" map
style, this way new tags can be (and have been) added to the rendering
rules. So it's a mix - some things are improved, some things are
added, and a few things get removed.
That's not what's happening it's very much a one-way street - the
standard style is being gutted, with obvious replacement available.
As for a "show it all map", I guess this is where Vector Tiles may
help in the future.
Perhaps you would care to elaborate on how that would work? A vector
tile implementation simply moves the place where rendering takes place;
it does not eliminate the requirement. Someone, somewhere, still has to
decide "we'll show XYZ on ABC map style".
Meanwhile we have a lot of rendering options available, it's also
easier than ever to create your own, and tools like Overpass Turbo
allow you to on-the-fly checks of the data.
No, that doesn't work. For example, look at the questions on the help
site, and you'll see comments like "But I don't want to lose my time
adding information that never appears" here:
https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/34480/changes-dont-get-rendered
A standard style that shows "what J Random Mapper has just added" is an
essential part of the new mapper feedback loop. It doesn't have to be
_the_ standard style, just _a_ standard style.
Cheers,
Andy
