Observations on my level of enthusiasm are not particularly helpful, and I
would ask that we assume good faith and focus on how our documentation
might be made better.

What I'm hearing you say is "the current documentation on highway=track is
wrong for Africa".  To solve this -- is it your position that the
international equivalence page should be expanded to include highway=track
and the highway=track page be made more generic?  I'd be interested to hear
practical recommendations as to how our documentation can properly account
for usage in Africa and/or invite you to directly contribute documentation
to the wiki.  I note that the international equivalence page doesn't
discuss highway=track (beyond a brief mention at the extreme bottom of the
page).
