[OSM-talk] Super-relations for roads

[Konrad Skeri]

Is there any current usage of super-relations for roads?

A few months ago I edited the E 45 (and hence its relation) in
northern Sweden and when uploading the changes got a conflict since
someone else had changed the E 45 after I started editing. (Somewhere
in Italy.) So I resolved the conflict and tried to upload again...
just to get a new conflict since someone had changed the E 45
somewhere in Denmark.

This could be resolved by making a relation of E 45 Sorsele
municipality, E 45 Storuman municipality, E 45 Vilhelmina
municipality, etc. and then join all of them in the super-relation E
45 Sweden, and finally join E 45 Sweden, E 45 Denmark, E 45 Germany,
etc. in the (super-)super-relation E 45.

Are there any reasons why we shouldn't do this now when we are able to
build super-relations?
