I did participate in some of the discussion on the topic on the list. I am fine with the change in tagging tp something associated with state or county. I disagreed with some of the rationale as there are state and county parks that fit the definition of leisure=park in their location and how they are managed. I have several in my area. At that point it becomes a distinction on operator. In the end, all that does not matter that much to me. What matters to me is a conformity in the interim that removes important features from view. That seems counterproductive. I had read the public lands page. Tagging a state park as a national park seems to me like tagging for the renderer as well. I have sent a message to the owner of the changeset. I have not heard back.
