default. The majority of the changes made by this person in my area<br>
have been fiddling with highway classifications. While I don't want to<br>
dictate how someone should map, these changes are generally unhelpful<br>
"low-hanging fruit" when there are so many other things that could be<br>
done (landuse, TIGER cleanup, buildings...). Echoing others, the main<br>
problem I've had is wholesale changes to road classifications without<br>
any attempt to justify their changes, or participate in any discussion<br>
with others about how we should classify highways. I've been on this<br>
mailing list for years and have tried to be involved in these<br>
discussions, and have encouraged Fluffy to do the same but I don't<br>
think I've seen him communicate outside of the rare response to<br>
changeset comment.<br>
<br>
I don't think a wholesale revert is necessary given that it sounds<br>
like from other users that some of Fluffy's changesets have been<br>
legitimately useful. Changing road classifications tends to ruffle<br>
feathers of local mappers so I think most of these less-helpful<br>
changesets will be reverted naturally anyways (though it is certainly<br>
frustrating to have to waste time cleaning this mess up). I certainly<br>
would be in favor of a block until they agree to better changeset<br>
comments and participation in discussions over road classifications if<br>
that's what the majority of their edits are going to be.<br>
