[OSM-talk] To John Bright (unwayed segments to unclassified ways)

[Stephan Schildberg]

I had an alike conversion while a robot tagged any segments in a certain 
bounding box last year. And we were a quite active community in this city.
We stopped in that region, some of us never took on the project again 
until today. It took weeks for me to find my and others unfinished work 
and more to remember of which information I was after, preventing me 
from changing them to ways.

You'll see what will happen when many of us will be surprised after that 
action, not even aware of this change coming up.

regards, Stephan.
