Motorway islands?  You mean a grade-seperated exit on an expressway?  I
can't see a compelling reason to not just tag that the same as an
expressway (since junctions can be a mix grade separated or at grade) any
more than it makes sense to tag motorway all the way to an at-grade
junction (which turns motorway into a trolltag).

Pretty sure there wasn't more input because everyone uses email, but not
that many bother with Slack.
