Sorry Christian to tell you that but this discussion should not happen
on the data at osmfoundation.org list. As the foundation defines itself,
it doesn't intervene on the contributions or data themselves. The DWG
has no legitimacy to decide what is good or bad to import into OSM. As
they say "they just follow the guidelines" decided by the community.
So this discussion about the guidelines should happen on a public list
involving a maximum of OSM contributors worldwide like the main
talk at osm.org ML.
