It says:
> Strongly recommend explicit tagging of oneway=* on highway=motorway_link.

It is totally unacceptable to let a GPS provider "decide on its (not
it's) own" (what?) based on fuzzy and vague "documentation history and
current data".  OSM is the place that *must* contain the data to be used
and, should the oneway status be undetermined, routing must obviously be
*requested* to not let the cars go through that place.
If that undetermined status existed, contributors should not be
recommended but requested explicit tagging.
And hence, quality assurance providers should be *requested* to check
motorway_link statuses and to warn the culprit and not an innocent as
Osmose does, and even this Tagging list in such grave security cases.

Please let us not make OSM responsible for car crashes.

Cheers

André.
