all maxtents=yes are in a "small" area in the north of the USA.

I have send a changeset comment to ask the meaning.
despite that, maxtents=<number> are indeed a bad idea.
capacity:tents is a more common schema
but I don't really see any advantage with
tents=yes + capacity:tents=<number>
versus
tents=<numbers>
