As a regular traveller in remote Australia, I can see advantage for map users in having cattle station air strips in OSM. Quite apart from RFDS operations, there is a progressive merging of tourism and agriculture. To have strips shown in OSM is of value to light aircraft owners planning their trip. More visitors will travel to tourist cattle stations as time goes on. I don't think you can make a comparison with back yard pools and tennis courts at all.

Yeah, though I think the case might be stronger for airstrips. One reason that occurs to me is that a private airstrip, if used to receive mail or visitors, is something like an address, which we store.

Dear god. 1) You, and about a thousand other people have pointed this out. 2) Clearly the person involved didn't know this, and is now doing the right thing. 3) Why complain *here* about it?
