      <br>
      I think I've said that in one of those endless diary discussions -
      almost everyone who complains about something in
      openstreetmap-carto is just unhappy that they don't get their pet
      feature rendered.

    My main problem* with OSM-carto is that acknowledged bugs can be <strong><em>only</em></strong>
    fixed "every few years" after a " full database reload".<br>
    <br>
    This is one of the reasons why OSM-carto has struggled to get users
    to contribute.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    In order to provide acceptable cartography, massive gatekeeping is
    required on the part of openstreetmap-carto maintainers. For every
    new feature they accept, they should really throw old two old
    features, otherwise the map becomes everything else but a map.
    <br>
    <br>
    That sounds a "pet-feature" to me.<br>
    <br>
    *although the faintness of footway rendering does irritate.<br>
