This issue was recently brought up on the Openstreetmap-Carto Github page: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/3726 where it was noted that piers that were tagged as part of a relation were being rendered incorrectly.
Some of the maintainers suggested that the actual path of the ferry across the water should always be tagged as a linear way, so that this alone is needed for most rendering and most routing functions, while the relation can include other features without problems. This is also what is done for tram tracks or railways; the path the train follows is a linear way, but the route is a relation. Are there people who think it is necessary to map the actual over-water path of the ferry with relations, or should the wiki page be clarified to recommend that this be tagged as a linear way?
