For example we do not tolerate to delete a way and then redraw it, even if it's done better, but rather we ask people to improve what is there by iterating over the existing data. Wow. Every time I edit, I'm splitting ways to add relations, speed limit changes, lane counts, etc. If the original way happens to still existing when I've finished it's more good luck than good management. And it's just as likely to be the stub of the via way in a no U-turn as it is the freeway it once was. Returning to the subject at hand, it's obvious that railways evoke emotions that a rolled piece of bitumen doesn't. I don't know why the railway=abandoned/buried/razed promoters just don't admit they want railways to be a special case, and we can all move on. We get it. Because the arguments about recognising some weed killer soaked into the compacted dirt in the basement of some apartment block just sound a bit ridiculous... Ian.
