Just to be clear, I'm (personally) NOT against A/B solution. I agree with
any solutions that we can reach a consensus on. I defended the `no name`
solution just to avoid editwars and focus on mapping data on naming tags
which are more accurate.

Looking at the name, I thought this was only limited to Saudi Arabia. If
possible, can you set up a poll in your telegram group to vote on
different options (including: Only one name, A/B, no-name)? I'll try to
do the same on OSM Iran telegram group.

My intention from this is to see how MORE people from local
communities `feel` about each option. This can help to choose an option
which that result in minimum edit wars in future.
