after two years in the wiki where it was marked as approved and active it
would not appear as a great idea to declare the vote for invalid based on
nitpicking formalities, how many votes were missing for approval?
Would be better to make a new proposal including details of a transition path.
Another reason I don't like current arete/ridge state is that some ridges are
very long - and they may be partially arete and ridge in different segments.
Having a way that is tagged partially as natural=ridge and partially as
natural=arete seems like a bad idea.
