[OSM-talk] Proposed bulk removal of service=driveway2

[Mateusz Konieczny]

as sole user of service=driveway2 declared that they are using it for all
highway=service where no other service=* value fits, it can be cleanly
removed fully automatically without any review

I support mass removal, as this value is highly confusing and pointless in its
current state

> Given that the proponent of highway=service + service=driveway2 uses it to mean exactly the same thing as highway=service without a service= tag, I see no reason not to remove service=driveway2 from the database.  If they had used a different ATYL value that wasn't so easily confused with service=driveway then the value could be easily ignored or perhaps gain wider acceptance.  However, driveway2 is not a semantically useful value.  It just causes confusion for mappers.  I say get rid of it.
