There seems to be something wrong with those Tagwatch stats, as Tagwatch
lists over 4000 uses of motorcar=no for highway=path for Germany. Though
I suspect many of them are set by people just because its listed in the
JOSM presets.
I would agree with its removal anyway from the prests anyway, as it just
causes confusion. Maybe it would be more useful to have the option for
motorcycle or motor_vehicle instead?
And on a related note, it would be useful to have motor_vehicle in the
presets for highway=track.
It would save having to set both motorcar and motorcycle, as both are
usually prohibited on most tracks around here.
