I propose describing distance_from_road tag, defined as "distance in meters from nearest road" as a misguided idea that should not be used.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:distance_from_road was recently created by PangoSE and claims "Useful for indicating the distance to nearest road accessible by a normal car for people who cannot walk very long because of illness or pregnancy but anyway want to get out in nature. " "I'm quite sure there is a clever GIS way of calculating this using a routing engine, unfortunately no tool or website has yet been created to easily visualize this yet. When this is available we could probably get rid of this tag or generate its values by bot." I am 100% sure that such tags are not welcomed and especially bot idea is really poor, but I want to ask other for confirmation.
