The PR specifically removes the filled rendering from `barrier=hedge` mapped with `area=yes` from 36665 hedges. There are 36665 hedges mapped with `area=yes`. These appear to be mostly used for hedges drawn as an area, which follows the existing documented convention. The PR effectively deprecates the combination of `barrier=hedge` plus `area=yes` for hedges drawn as areas, because `area=yes` may have been intended for one of the other tags on that entity (which breaks the 'one feature, one object' good practice), without providing an alternative. No one is disputing that `barrier=hedge` on a polygon without `area=yes` should not be considered a filled area. That part of the PR is good and does not break the existing convention. > it should be noted that barrier=hedge is currently > not the dominant method of mapping strips of trees or bushes with > polygons A hedge is not the same as bushes or trees. Where bushes or clumps of trees may form some sort of barrier (although you can often barge through them), hedges predominantly are. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
