[OSM-talk] Change in line barrier rendering coming up

[nebulon42]

With the next update of openstreetmap-carto the line barrier catch-all 
rendering is going to be removed. That means that no longer every value 
of barrier=* is rendered on the standard layer but only the most used 
(consolidated) values. For a list of tags and details see 
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1986.

This change (in the same way as other catch-all removals some time ago) 
is intended to improve tagging quality and reduce tagging for the 
renderer. The particular list is of course open to continuous 
discussion. As concrete example barrier=line is going to be removed from 
the rendering, which is in my opinion clearly a case of tagging for the 
renderer. Personally, I'm not opposed to mapping of sports field 
markings (the maintainers of osm-carto may have other opinions). Maybe a 
better tagging scheme can be devised for that.
