[OSM-dev] Why is ford=yes not rendered in the default style?

[Dave F.]

Thanks to all for the information. It's becoming a bit clearer to me.

However I still think there's something wrong with a system that takes 
years to render an almost universal accepted replacement tag for a 
deprecated one that was previously rendered.

Am I right in thinking the style file has been updated only once in over 
two years & that was just to delete comments?

Is the style file user purely to decide what gets rendered? If so, I'm 
surprised to see ele & z_order

Cheers
Dave F.
