With those in charge that show most determination in an edit war?

Personally, I don't see what's wrong with distinguishing between a  
normal paved road and one that's suitable for inline skating with  
smoothness=good vs. smoothness=excellent. Or between roughly  
cobblestoned road and the one most people wouldn't mind riding a  
bicycle on with smoothness=bad vs. smoothness=intermediate. What's  
your way to tag surface quality?

Cheers
