This is a data project, not a renderer project.

It’s actually kinda both. Without the renderers, the data is useless (at least for making a map—analysis is still useful)

If the renderers aren't doing
the right thing then we need to make them do the right thing.

+1 from me as well.

Continuing to use ref= tags at all when we have relations that represent
a much cleaner way to tag roads is a terrible case of tagging for the
renderer.  I think it's premature to remove ref tags, but I don't see
any point in adding them to new ways, rather than just creating a
relation.

If you want them to actually appear on this map we’re making, you kind of need to add them to new ways until renderers support the new system. If you don’t care whether or not they appear on the map, what’s the point of adding them?
