The reason why it keeps coming up is because people fail to learn the basic 
rules about mapping in OSM:

(1) don't tag for the renderer (most people seem to grab this idea)

and

(2) don't tag for the editor (this one is more difficult for some to 
understand)


We can go on and on, but tagging these routes with name tags is a clear 
example of tagging for the editor.
