highway=unclassified replaced class=minor.
Additionally, (at least in the uk) roads can be unclassified (all given 
U numbers)

I mistakenly added highway=minor to the primary map features several 
months ago and it was removed soon after.

Personally, I think they should be interchangeable, but I only use 
unclassified now.
