I consider a parameter for wholesale POI creation just a workaround.
- The automatic placement works only for very simple objects, if a user
sets a POI manually, this placement will always be better
- The POI creation creates duplicate POIs if there already is a (better)
manual POI
- A feature with as much impact as this should be controllable in a very
detailed way in the style. I can think of many features where I would
want it to add POIs and many where I would refrain from it. E.g. I have
recently seen a castle with each building detailed as an area. The
result was a forest of castle icons there.
