[Talk-GB] What was the outcome of the discussion about C class roads with ref tags?

[Steve Doerr]

I once saw some friends on Facebook discussing the state of a road local 
to them in Dorset, and they referred to it by its C number throughout. 
Personally, I quite like the fact that our map has C numbers on where 
other maps don't. What I don't like, though, is seeing U numbers for 
unclassified roads, which are cluttering up the map of my home area 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/51.42292/0.34775).
