[OSM-talk] Non-capital cities in low-zoom Mapnik

[Claudius]

I recently noticed (change must have been done in the past 2-3 weeks) 
that low zoom Mapnik rendering at osm.org show more large cities per 
country now that are not capitals: http://osm.org/go/zhyr--
For example you see Hamburg and Frankfurt in Germany or Mashhad in Iran 
or Ürümqi in China. These are not tagged as capital=yes and not all have 
a population tag.

Can anyone tell what makes a city name show up on low zoom?
