Re: [Talk-ca] [OSM-talk] Coastline missing in Lake Superior - in case anyone notices...

I'm perfectly fine killing the coastal tag from the Canadian side on 
all fresh water lakes... makes more sense to me.   Plus it doesn't 
import very well into my Garmin GPS anyways...   you end up pulling half 
the globe just to get the connecting lines, since it's not a single 
object.

a 'lake' and 'shoreline' are 2 different map features.
 

We don't get the sorts of levels of water as they do in North America
so to me a shoreline is only along the sea shore...

Where as bodies of fresh water are usually lakes (natural=water)...

As Quick Draw McGraw would say, Whoa!  Hold on there Pardners!

Please don't just delete and replace a large international body of
water without TONS of discussion with the affected community first.

There is a very high likelihood that editing an object this large will
break in the middle due to a timeout.  That will make fixing it ever
harder.  And it will all take time which is almost certain to cause a
ruckus, if the affected community is not involved before the problem
occurs.

This in not a race.  There is no deadline or prize for changing inland
seas fastest.

Please reconsider this!
