Thanks a lot for your comments. That's what I expected - I believe some 
problems are reported from the experience and it's good to know what 
kind of circumstances makes the problem visible.

I encourage people to be more open about the problems they have - 
including how it affects routing, rendering (probably two most common 
scenarios) or any other. Decoupling data from the usage makes it easier 
to have wider ecosystem, but data don't live on their own. The model 
they create should be accurate (that's the part we usually discuss a 
lot), but also practical to use (I won't cite jokes, read some examples 
about it for example here: 
https://nargaque.com/2014/03/02/mathematicians-answer/ ).

Maybe we miss special place to discuss map rendering problems with OSM 
data? I can create one on the OSM forum server.

It strikes me sometimes, that we in the osm-carto tend to discuss 
general things about rendering in whatever current ticket they affect, 
just because we have no better space for this. If we could share 
experiences from different renderers, it would be even more useful.
