Agreed. In Nederland, I think most mappers will agree. It's just that a gazillion roads and streets have been tagged as unclassified based on an import assumption that unclassified means no known classification. Seems like a candidate for automated correction but... another gazillion roads actually are of class unclassified.
Meaning that correction is a herculic task and a huge incentive is needed. Since there is little impact on rendering and routing, no crowds are lining up to take this on.
