http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Droundabout
User Imagic has pushed through changes despite disagreement, and another editor blocked me from the wiki for making fixes to better match existing tagging.

Imagic is trying to enforce conflating junction=roundabout with the "modern roundabout", when it formerly included other traffic circles and rotaries. This means the wiki does not agree with existing tags on many circles. Instead of telling you to take the nth exit from the circle, a router will give you the bloody useless "bear left, bear left, bear left, bear right" if the junction=roundabout is removed.

I will ignore this garbage and continue to tag circles as junction=roundabout, just as I still use highway=mini_roundabout for circles mapped as nodes. I'll also use highway=motorway for freeways that allow bikes and peds and highway=motorway_junction for exits from non-motorways, even if some crusader decides to change the wiki definitions.
