[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - highway=scramble

[martianfreeloader]

Nope, didn't forget about that.

My point was rather that in case the community decides the discussed 
primary-tag distinction is favourable, it would be the least effort for 
us is to keep highway=path for the vast majority of ways (12 million) 
instead of changing them all to highway=easy_path (I don't see any 
chance this big of a change will find acceptance).

But yes, you're totally right, it will still be a considerable task to 
re-tag all the 2k via ferratas, 3k climbing routes and ~20k difficult hikes.

Luckily this not quite hundreds of thousands as you feared, but "just" 
tens of thousands... :-)
