I also think that there should be no classification gaps for major routes.
But it might be good to define some criteria as for what qualifies as
major. I'd like to suggest to only apply this to ferries that have
either continuous service (ferry leaves whenever full) or at least
multiple scheduled trips every day.

Just another point, I think we should be extending major roads to
ferry terminals so to ensure network connectivity across islands. I've
been noticing the prevailing practice in the Philippines is to end a
major road at the port gates, but this breaks connectivity of the road
network across islands at a closer zoom level. I'm citing examples of
major roads extending to ferry terminals in places like the US (e.g.
US-10 connecting with the Maniwotoc-Ludington ferry, roads connecting
with ferries across the Puget Sound in Washington State) Canada (e.g.
the Trans-Canada connecting with the Nanaimo-Horseshoe Bay and
Sydney-Port aux Basques ferries), Russia (e.g. roads connecting A-376
and A-392 with the Vanino-Kolmsk ferry), and Sweden and Finland (e.g.
E12 between Umeå and Vaasa across the Gulf of Bothnia) to justify this
change in practice, though elsewhere, especially where OSM
classifications matched well with official designations often
indicated by route number signs with a specific numbering scheme
and/or color combination, like with most of Europe (including the UK),
Japan and Indonesia, it’s fine to end major classifications outside
the port gates and tag the roads inside the ferry terminal with lower
classifications (usually service, sometimes tertiary for the major
access roads). In those places, their roads networks are connected
well even if it's only true at higher zoom, or the scale for a printed
country or region map.
