[Talk-GB] Large swaths of "heath" in Wales?

[Marco Boeringa]

Hi David,

I know the opinions about the need to create multipolygons are as 
diverse as there are political opinions. It was just one example where 
these features cause issues. My main question is simply if there are any 
plans or ideas by the British community of how to deal with these 
features, or if there is any consensus whether they are desired or not. 
If not, would the community oppose someone else removing them?

That' a problem with the renderers.  Multipolygons are difficult for
both (human) editors and (machine) renderers, so only be used where
strictly necessary.
