Railway=dismantled was never in the standard rendering. It was
railway=abandoned which was removed. I think you should be less than
perfectly happy about that.

The trouble is that some things which were dismantled were tagged as
abandoned. Now there is no incentive to fix the tagging because
properly tagged railways still won't get rendered. I suggested a
change which would create an incentive to fix the tagging on railways,
but .... deaf ears.

The problem here is that the cabal which created OSM is still running
it. When they do a great job (which is the usual case), OSM is
awesome. And when they do a crappy job, OSM sucks. I really don't want
OSM to suck, so I push back hard against the crap.
