Um, no there hasn't?
The changeset you've pointed to (which is one of mine) has a single stile moved
to the side of a bridleway

I favour the definitions used on the English Wikipedia, which make it
clear that vandalism is
I've also had an electric fence across a bridleway, and some very grumpy
cows the other side of it. Luckily the farmer appeared and was very
happy to let me through or it would have been retracing 3km of grassy
riding on a touring bike.
I'm rather prone to bike-hiking, even if not keen on it,

A barrier=stile on a long-established UK bridleway is 99.9% a mapping

I have seen at least one bridleway with a stile (not a horse stile).
Bridleways that were recently upgraded from public footpaths may still have
old barriers. Just because there is a right of way, it doesn't mean that
it's fully accessible (e.g a BOAT near Alton that has steps at one end).

Looks like there's been an attempt to remove all stiles from bridleways
-- pretty sure I've seen this done in other edits -- agree that they're
