[OSM-talk] Too much detail, or: mapping every single tree in a park

[Oliver Simmons]

Mapping like this is 100% ok in urban spaces.
Just don't do it in the middle of nowhere, chances of it getting
updated are low and it'd get outdated.
Personally I would only ever do it in parks and places where the trees
are maintained on a one by one basis.

The was a case shared on the Discord a while ago where someone was
mapping every tree in a forestry area (or something similar) over a
*very* large area, all with a `name=` too!! That's not ok imo as they
are likely to be cut down and replanted, so an area makes more sense.
