[Talk-us] Drop the tiger:reviewed tag from roads

[Clifford Snow]

Bryan,
There are members of the US community that object to using proprietary apps
such as Slack. I respect their opinion that I used the mailing list to get
a consensus.

I do enjoy Slack, but like forums, thread can be missed, especially as we
build the community on slack with more and more posts.

Hopefully this conversation will give us a clear consensus on tiger:reviewed
