That's only happened in the last month. Four weeks ago there were 12 
cities in Victoria:

There are now 25 "cities" in Victoria. One mapper just decided to go 
through and change everything that has the word "city" in the LGA title 
to a city. I changed them back to town and they went and switched them 
all back again.

This is why I thought Graeme's question was well timed. I'd prefer that 
we had some guidelines that actually gave guidance rather than the 
alternative of edit wars based on the vibe.
