Brian, as someone who worked on these national rail relations (and still does, to some extent, though only around the edges), I agree with you that "very large" relations (in Amtrak we say that one route is >2500 relations and meets that standard of "very large") do exist. And, they are unwield

As time goes on, we will encounter increasingly accurate and resolute mechanisms for surveying things like coastlines and land cover. For example, there are discussions about whether to use things like AI and machine learning to produce such data. The demand for ways to deal with larger objects w

Excuse me, what is the limitation here against tagging "Extremely long Amtrak relations"? Some of those Amtrak services, while long, in my knowledge are still far from the longest in the OSM database, like they're shorter than the train route between Moscow to Pyongyang, which have been tagged as a

Super relations could also solve problems like the Tongass National Forest. By crafting a relation of relations, you still preserve the ability to have one tagged super-object represent one complex thing in real life, but with natural cut points so that any consumer can choose to deal with in in m
