I'm fine with that consensus. We confirmed with the person who reverted the
previous edit that there was no specific rule being enforced. That mapper just

I have a rather free day tomorrow so I'm happy to fix the st-lawrence section
between Montreal and Sorel to tag it as natural=coastline.
Hopefully this should be fine for all.
Cheers,
Charles
