[Talk-GB] boundary & admin_level tags on ways.

[Mateusz Konieczny]

In https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2022-July/029134.html
you posted

"The only reason for their inclusion which I've read was OSM-Carto contributors being unwilling to write code that parsed boundary relations in order to return the largest admin_level number."

which was at least completely mistaken.

OSM-Carto contributors wrote and deployed this code years ago.

Then you linked 
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3102
which is not really relevant to either presence or continued use
of this tagging style given that it was never deployed 
(and it was not merged partially because it would promote this 
duplication of relation data onto ways).

My point is that what you posted about OSM-Carto contributors
was untrue.

(at one point there was proposal request to promote
this kind of duplication, but it was withdrawn and is unlikely
to be decisive in UK tagging practices)
