Thank you for the link. This is what I feared. highway=social_path is certainly unacceptable - a self-made tag that essentially deletes the data for all other consumers. There would have been numerous other options that would have allowed them to single out the tracks they want - for example, tagging the official ones with an "operator" tag, or putting them into suitable relations or so. Had any of the players involved taken the time to ask on this list, I'm sure these options would have been pointed out to them. As it stands, removing a proper, established highway tag and replacing it with something that nobody knows is just a little bit better than removing the way altogether. To make matters worse, it seems that the issue has been pointed out almost half a year ago, and has not led to the issue being fixed: http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/34599982 It is obvious to me that all occurrences of highway=social_path need to be replaced with whatever they were before. I'd normally say let's give them some time to come up with a better idea but seeing that the problem has been highlighted to them pretty much at the time they made the edits 5 months ago, and they haven't come up with a better idea, I'd say the time is up now.
