[OHM] Railroad discussion on talk-us

[SK53]

I was just reading the railroad discussion on talk-us, and was totally with
Russ Nelson about his desire to keep many rairoad grades in OSM. But then
he said this
<https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2015-April/014575.html>:

"I don't have an awful lot of use of OpenHistoricalMap because it's a
> faux-layer. OSM doesn't have layers (for better or worse), and trying
> to create them by using a completely separate database is a purposeful
> attempt to #FAIL. Since my goal isn't failure, but instead success,
> we're going to keep dismantled railways in OSM."
>
> I wonder if someone who is on talk-us might correct this mis-apprehension
(and perhaps suggest more politeness too).
