[OSM-talk] Come back Osmarender, all is forgiven!

However this off-topic illustrates one point: topic map are good to show 
topical features: you can fill bugs that the maintainer will have a 
pleasure to fix :)

Andy, you are well placed to know that rendering a particular topic well 
requires a good understanding of the tagging scheme, but also the habits 
of those contributors mapping this particular interest of them.

I'm not sure a map showing everything is a solution today, and even less 
sure somebody could find a sustained interest in maintaining one.

Also, tools like Overpass or Umap now make things easier.
