Hi,

I'm about to do a GB wide edit changing highway=ford (545) to ford=yes

It sounds as if you are belittling those who "like to get upset" but at
the same time you're writing your message in a combative and
uncooperative tone that is increasing the likelihood of someone getting
upset!
Well, yes, I suppose I am. I'm gradually becoming irritated by the
increasing reluctance (verging on paranoia) to correcting erroneous
data. It started as a concern over mass 'bot' edits, but has now spread
to any kind of amendments over a certain area. There's more concern over
an edit's geographical size than what's actually being edited. That
can't be right.
Claims (I'm paraphrasing, but only slightly) such as 'I didn't know
about discussions', 'I wasn't involved in those discussions' & 'I want
OSM to remain the same as when I first started' are not valid arguments.
Yes, it has been discussed a couple of times on Tagging, & once on
OSM-carto when deciding on the icon to use.
It would be good if you could link to these discussions instead of just
claiming they were had, for the benefit of those who joined between "a
few years ago" and now.
I disagree. I provided evidence of the conclusions of those discussions
& indication of which was more popular in Britain. Anyone who has
concerns over that could perform their own research. Of course, an easy
way to search the archives would be beneficial.
Bye
Frederik
