If the automatic edit goes ahead, then it will downgrade all motorway
links as listed on the web page I provided, unless they have been
modified in the mean time.
This means that upgrading a trunk to motorway now would not save the
links from being downgraded!
Now if people are doing this en masse over the next few days then I
would have to decide on an automatism for detecting these cases, or
re-run the analysis.
But if these are isolated cases, then I would like to offer the
following suggestion: If you upgrade a road to motorway, could you also
remove the "tiger:reviewed=no" tag from the associated motorway_links?
That would then flag them as modified, and cause my script not to
downgrade them.
Bye
Frederik
