[OSM-talk] [RFC] highway=unclassified currently is too ambiguous, so here's my proposal to fix it.

Seriously, there's a lot of people subscribed to this list, and very
few joining the conversation. Maybe everyone is watching 5 or 6 people
getting themselves into gordian knots and thinking to themselves that
they'd rather spend the time mapping than discussing what is, after
all, almost completely irrelevant to anyone who doesn't have OCD.

It's like listening to a conversation about sorting dingbats
alphabetically. Maybe when we have all the roads in the world entered,
named and with the right geometry we'll have nothing better to do than
decide the difference between tertiary, minor, unclassified and
whatnot. Until then, there are simply more important things to do.

Cheers,
Andy
