A vote that starts out with almost all approves and ends up with almost all opposes is not controversial but fishy. The line between most approves and most opposes is when it was posted to this list; in other words most approve votes were made before it was announced. Almost every one of those approves is by someone living in Italy, which suggests discussion on the Italian mailing list or other discussion among a small group in an echo chamber. Once it was belatedly announced here, most new voters opposed it. It's very possible that the outcome would have been different had it been announced here promptly (or, to be fair, it may have been the same, with the Italian bloc voting the same way). And now we have a tag that replaces all ice cream places, thus providing less information than the former amenity=cafe/fast_food/etc. cuisine=ice_cream. How is this a good thing? (By the way, nobody seems to have brought up the existence of frozen yogurt places and whether these fit into the new tag.) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
