Hi all,

This proposal is still in RFC and may be voted in a couple of weeks as
evaluation shown no issue so far, at least on transmission power lines.
line_management tag is used carefully for testing.

Nevertheless it's an opportunity to review the branch:type tag replacement
with line_management=*

i'm still looking for an appropriate illustration for two values examples:
* line_management=cross (two or more lines with different directions
sharing the same support without connecting)
* line_management=loop (two or more lines coming from the same direction
are connected as to mock some of them)

Feel free to propose and complete if you find corresponding situations on
ground

Thanks in advance

François
