While just a technicality it probably is worth pointing out that in
reality the change you propose would require adding 40 million or so
oneway=no tags to the DB and making a new version of each of the
effected objects. We have worse things in the DB, but still it would
need more than just  uneasiness with the current situation (which is for
largish parts of the world not an issue) to justify the change
