I'm not vary confident that mappers would want to change the mapping just because the traffic code has changed somewhere in the past. Nobody here knows the word rotary for a roundabout. In practice, all roundabouts have traffic controls. Small ones just have shark's teeth, that's a legal priority control. I move to make this this restriction less strict: if there is traffic control by static signs or markings, it's also a junction=roundabout. This is visibly verifiable by any mapper, and would retain the requirement of priority for traffic on the roundabout over traffic entering the roundabout.
