People, get a grip.
There are a lot of cool ideas that have risen and re-risen in this
thread. Custom iD presets for HOT tasks, tighter coordination between
training guides and software release cycles, better management of tags
across OSM.
HOT excels in emergencies, but this isn't one. The label "unclassified
road" has changed to "minor road". This is a good thing
(https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2916) and something we can
easily get our minds around.
Indeed - and it should make training people easier, not harder.
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2916 was opened in response
to a missing maps event where people were instructed to use
highway=unclassified for unknown roads instead of highway=road.
iD has never had a one-to-one correspondence between preset titles and
tag values, nor for that matter does JOSM. WIth translations it's fairly
obvious that this can't be true for all languages. Additionally, iD is
in en_US by default and OSM tags are approximately in en_GB, which is
another source of differences between preset names and tags.
