[OSM-talk] Removing all signposts from relations

Where was the discussion. Do you have a link?

I think the relation of the 'route' should be purely the ways & if 
there's an actual requirement*, the signs should be included as a part 
of a super relation https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Super-Relation

* Is there a requirement? Doesn't the route tell you where to go, & 
calculates how far to destination?

I'm slightly concerned a super relation would turn into a similar mess 
that PTv2 Stop Areas have become, where almost anything remotely near a 
transport stop is added to it.
