We are only reiterating the fact that being paved or not is subjective to the renderer/router/data consumer, based on the intention of the particular user, and thus a tag for paved=* is counter-productive.

Compacted usually means compacted earth (the soil has been packed more densely, but no other hard surface has been added). A dirt road simply has the native soil exposed, with perhaps some grading done, but again no topping added. To my mind, neither of these count as "paved".

To think that there is only one definition of paved=yes, is a big mistake. There are few tags in OSM that are specific enough to mean the same thing all over the world.
