This is the first case I remember where the trend was to downgrade 
everything in sight, and he hasn't given the usual alternative point of 
reference to clarify where he was coming from.

Not a bad time to doublecheck lane tagging and capture that detail, too.
I'm working through that on I 405 in LA right now, which somehow still had
mostly barely-improved-since-TIGER data.

Well, I have noticed he has downgrade a ton of roads that were 'trunk' for 6+ 
years, which leads me to be believe they were tagged correctly if no other 
local mapper touched them in that time period.  There were also a few ways in 
that changeset you mentioned that he changed to secondary that at a previous 
time was trunk (till he changed it to primary late last year). See:

Honest mistakes on his end? Perhaps.  But I'm just seeing way too many 
downgrades to be conformable with his 'highway type' changes to be honest.  
There's probably quite a few roads that he retagged as primary that need to be 
re-upgraded to trunk and so on.  Routing algorithms have probably been 
seriously damaged by some of the changes unfortunately.

As for restoring the 'motorway' roads, I've honestly just been manually fixing 
them.  Sure, takes longer, but allows me to catch the 'Emergency U-Turn' 
crossovers that are improperly tagged as a '_link', and fix them at the same 
time.  I've cleared & restored the proper motorway/motorway_link tags on 
FL-414, FL-429, FL-451, & FL-453 manually so far.  Leaves FL-408, FL-417, 
FL-528, and a few non-state roads around Walt Disney World.  But those routes 
are some pretty long ones, and will take some time to fix since they have 
several exits along them.

FYI the user also joined the changeset discussion as of recently. Based on the 
message and previous changeset comments (e.g. "trunk-primary fixes (that i 
messed up)" in 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/79132672#map=12/28.4681/-81.4027) it 
seems to be an honest mistake.

I can help out with fixes over the weekend. Let me know if you come up with a 
plan to restore highway=motorway tags.

Anybody willing to help out here in restoring the motorway tags to the proper 
highways?
