I suppose adding tags for cfcc and hfcs makes sense as an addition to
existing tagging.

Using those classifications to replace the judgment and experience of
an OSM surveyor on the ground is a bad idea.  The cfcc and hfcs both
fail in terms of "observability" by ground surveyors and so those
paper classifications are less reliable.

Be respectful of the work of surveyors on the ground.
