My main problem* with OSM-carto is that acknowledged bugs can be 
*/only/* fixed "every few years" after a " full database reload".

This is one of the reasons why OSM-carto has struggled to get users to 
contribute.


In order to provide acceptable cartography, massive gatekeeping is 
required on the part of openstreetmap-carto maintainers. For every new 
feature they accept, they should really throw old two old features, 
otherwise the map becomes everything else but a map.

That sounds a "pet-feature" to me.

*although the faintness of footway rendering does irritate.
