Funny to read: "likely to result", "we will have" ...

We already have insular communities (e.g. using highway=unclassified for 
this or for that or for something different), we have a special 
definition page for germany tagging and ...

Problem: "we" just don't stick to definitions or change it every few 
weeks/months.
