How do you suggest doing this without breaking the way people expect a
service like Nominatim to operate? You're proposing that I remove
admin_level=* from Burke, but that is the "city" that everyone in
Burke uses for their mailing address, and is indeed what the USPS
uses. The only strict administrative unit in my area is Fairfax
County, which is a place with over a million people. Whether we like
it or not admin_level is used for more than just strict administrative
units. We either need to admit it and keep on using it, or create
something else and change the many existing uses to the new key.
