In some less developed parts of the world, there are even unpaved ways
classified as trunk in OSM. [1] Canadian tagging guidelines also allow
unpaved trunk ways there, [2] although I didn't find any on the map.
Unpaved parts of Iceland's Ring Road were classified as a trunk before
the paving was completed, and from economic indicators Iceland can't
really be called "developing".
