I didn't express myself since a long time on this list. I just discovered the new style and wanted to undestand how it was possible to kill the tertiary road type in OSM. Because it must be clear : if a road class is not rendered, it will be ignored by most of the contributors in the future. That's it. And after reading the thread on github, I'm surprised to see how easy the warnings have been ignored. Maybe because the style developers underestimated its importance (only 4 millions ways) ? This is not a message to minimize the huge efforts and positive improvements about this change.
