[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Render images on feature page (#2515)

[Frederik Ramm]

I am uncomfortable with this idea. The openstreetmap web site is not intended to be a business directory or a browsing catalogue for features. A "node/xxxx" or "way/xxxx" page is not a "feature page", its primary purpose is not to describe or illustrate the real-world "feature". The page is there if you want to look at how something is tagged in OSM and who made the change. It's an internal debugging tool for the mapping and quality assurance process, not a public-facing page. Changes like this will ultimately lead to a restaurant having "a yelp page", "a facebook page", and "an openstreetmap page". Restaurant owners will try to ensure that OSM has the prettiest picture of their restaurant (instead of the one most useful for mapping). In my opinion, this is not something we should be doing.
