I am generally against such harsh measures, if a new way to tag has advantages, it has them even if only 20% of applicable objects are tagged with it. And 20% endorsement isn't actually a fail IMHO. FWIW, if you want to establish a hard time frame, it should be as long as the former tagging was in use. > > P.S.

Even the well established but strongly criticized highway=path proposal introduced a new feature class that didn't exist before (narrow ways that have no dedicated/preferred means of transport, and ways that have two or more equally important means of transport/shared dedication). Usually these proposals that change established tagging are set up because there are issues with the current way of doing things, e.g. in the beginning power=station was used for substations and power=generator for power stations. While you can adopt to oddities like these, they surely raise the bar for new mappers, introduce unnecessary complexity and tend to lead to tagging errors by people less aware of wiki definitions. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
