How about assuming good intent ...
No-one's suggesting anything other than "people wanting to make the
standard layer better". It's "better for what" that's the issue. I
think that we ought to be making a map style that better helps people
navigate to where they want to go.
Traditionally we have always said that out web site is aimed at
supporting mappers and not at providing end user services like helping
people navigate - we provide the data to let other people build services
like that.
... and making suggestions on how to improve things
A number of people tried that on
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/542
all feedback pretty much fell on deaf ears.
Just because somebody doesn't do what you want doesn't mean it fell on
deaf ears of course, just that they didn't agree with you ;-)
That's especially true because it tends only to be the people that are
opposed to a change that comment - it's much hard to get people that are
happy with a change to comment.
For the record I personally was perfectly happy to see things like long
obliterated railways removed from the standard rendering.
