It is not. Your "either-or" is far too simplistic even for today's OpenStreetMap, and sadly doesn't help this discussion at all. There's quite a couple of cultures/world views that we are already rejecting today, for example nationalist world views that would apply certain name tags to objects clearly outside their "jurisdiction" and against the expressed wish of the local population. Decisions have to be made, especially were one person's freedom starts to impact another person's freedom; it never was free-for-all.
