It originated here: I certainly remember using it circa 2006 and continued using it through 2007, for both:
* residential roads with an uneven, gravelly surface;
* tracks.

The former I would now tag as highway=residential; surface=unpaved and the latter, highway=track.

I try to change them if I'm editing in an area with one I created, if I remember to do so.
