I'm not sure the move to 8.50 will help in this regard. I see lots of
'holes' in the latest 8.50 data as well. Even more, probably, as it's
common to have concrete taxiways surrounded by asphalt shoulders. I've seen
holes between the two curves in this respect.
Not on the roadmap yet, but maybe I can add another 'nudge' to expand these
shoulders if they intersect a higher priority polygon. I have no thoughts
on how to detect this right now, however.
