Yes, no. The same user also changed the Australian tagging guidelines without discussion, which we didn't notice till last October: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2019-October/013009.html and they were reverted. Didn't notice at the time that he'd also edited the parent page. > My own impression over the years has been that mappers use > highway=cycleway on anything that primarily for bicycle traffic, and add > access keys for any other permitted traffic.

Using cycleway/footway to map primary/secondary paths is a informal but common practice. > Is there a general consensus that > these are better mapped as highway=path? > I had a go at summarising the case against path back in October: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2019-October/013017.html
