This is not supposed to be a huge change, right?

Are you unaware of the fact that there are forks of OpenStreetMap Carto like
German style which are keept in sync by merging them with every upstream
release?

I'm doing this for German style for more than 2 years now without that much
of a hassle up till this release.

This will now kill my ability to keep on doing this at least as roads.mss is
concerned!

The commit which causes the hassle is most likely this one:

    Render “surface” tag on roads with a pattern (#2640)
    
    * code re-ordering - no rendering change
    
    * Render unpaved road surface with a pattern

WTF. Did you have a good reason which was worth killing your forks ability to
stay in sync with upstream?

Regards

Sven
