Not sure I was asked to take on the role of moderator but if there are no objections I'll do it.
CF was initially created for gridded data. The cf_role attribute was added when CF was extended to deal with discrete sampling geometries. @LorenzoCorgnati is asking the question whether gridded data should be explicitly annotated through the addition of cf_role='grid_id' or should the existing practice of simply leaving the cf_role attribute out continue. I feel inclusion is possibly better practice, but the existing practice has the advantage of backward compatability - so much so that if a value of 'grid_id' is allowed then this must be considered equivalent to the cf_role attribute being omitted.
