[OSM-dev] Water polygon shapefiles for Openstreetmap-carto

[Joseph Eisenberg]

The maintainers of Openstreetmap-carto would like to switch to water
polygons instead of land polygons.

However, some users reported problems with the simplified water polygon
shapefiles when this change was attempted in 2016. We believe the problem
is no longer present, because the German map style is using these
shapefiles without problems, but it needs testing.

If you were one of users who had
problems with the simplified-water-polygon shapefiles or if you’ve seen
problems with rendering the current German fork on your setup, please let
us know, and try out the change on your server.
