I'm mildly for reverting, although I'm happy to hear out arguments either
way and be proven wrong.

- The footpath which runs along side the road which is not explicitly
signposted for bicycles should be highway=footway + footway=sidewalk, even
in states where you can ride on the footpath, as it's primarily a
pedestrian facility.
- While I'm neutral about the highway tag for shared foot/cycle paths, a
lot of the times these are used and generally behave more like a dedicated
cycleway than a generic path. I'm all for further discussion about this, I
know it's been extensively discussed in the past, but regardless I think a
major change to the tagging guidelines should warrant a discussion to
change.
- However I do agree with the change which added segregated=no to
"Australian Shared Path (bicycle and pedestrian sign)".
- Reinstate pedestrian cut through.
