<p>Here's a pretty important CDP that the map would probably be
worse off for not including: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metairie,_Louisiana">Metairie,
Louisiana - Wikipedia</a></p>
<p>Right now Metairie's boundary is mapped, but it's mapped as a
city with admin_level 8. <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/131642#map=14/29.9667/-90.1328">Relation:
Metairie (131642) | OpenStreetMap</a></p>
<p>I'd say if a CDP is for a distinct enough thing, keep it. If it's
kinda redundant and probably isn't very useful, remove it or don't
include it.<br/>

<div>I use this tag in StreetFerret[1].</div>

<div>The goal of my site is that if someone wants to track
what streets they've run/walk/hiked in a city, it shows you
which streets you've finished and which ones you haven't.
Thus, I rely on street data and city/town boundaries to make
this happen. For a place like Rhode Island where all of the
municipal boundaries fit together like puzzle pieces with no
unincorporated areas, this is easy -- administrative
boundaries give me everything I need. However there are
other places -- I'm thinking Maryland and Hawaii -- where
there are no equivalent municipalities in most places. </div>

</div>
<div>So if someone wants to know how many streets they've run
in Ellicott City[2], Maryland, I can't do that with an
administrative boundary, because Ellicott City is just an
unincorporated part of Howard County (despite being the
county seat and having a decently sized population). For
Maryland, I use a select list of census boundaries that
serve as de-facto city boundaries for handling the "in a
city" problem for areas that aren't in an incorporated city
boundary but are otherwise locally understood as a
geographical place with extents.</div>
