[Talk-us-massachusetts] non-local paid mappers deleting landuse=conservation

[Jim Snyder-Grant]

Not to pile on to the mapbox whining or anything... but mapbox has stopped
bringing over our trail and landuse changes into mapbox. They used to
automatically refresh with OSM data, now they curate, and haven't been
responsive to our requests to update things like meadow sizes and
locations, bridges on trails, and other items important to a trail map. We
are responding by slowly doing more of the OSM data extraction ourselves,
and relying less and less on the mapbox data for our Acton maps.  Still
loving and using the styling support and the tile creation & caching of
mapbox.
