[OSM-talk] Changed highway=*_link meaning?!

[David Paleino]

Hello people,
does someone know the reasoning behind:

  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Map_Features:highway&diff=490719&oldid=485601

?

It changed the meaning of almost all highway=*_link present in our database,
and the comment given doesn't explain the reason. With this change, only
highway=*_link connecting the same class of roads have the same meaning as
before.

I can't find any discussion about those tags on talk at . And no, I haven't
checked whether it's been discussed in the tagging mailing list, but changes of
this importance should be given ample diffusion, and announced everywhere (and
you can't expect everyone to be subscribed to the tagging mailing list). And
talk@ is one of the minimum requirements, IMHO.

David
