<p dir="auto">Yes, with the increasing complexity of osm2pgsql, it will inevitably be easier to clobber things up. But I am afraid with all the new stuff, including the new "Themepark" I saw announced, this is virtually unavoidable. We're <em><strong>way</strong></em> past the point of osm2pgsql being a tool you can just "hit and run" (if it ever was with amount of command line options).</p>
<p dir="auto">(Desirable) Flexibility comes at a price...</p>
