I'm Florida based, have seen Floridaeditor's changes and noticed an
eagerness to change a lot of road classifications. I didn't pay a lot of
attention until now. Of course, trunk can be a tricky one, but if you
got one lone guy on a mission who is arguing with everyone along the
path, reverting any differences of opinion, etc - that is getting
abusive and needs to stop. It is certainly NE2ish behavior. Other than
NE2s behavior towards people who didn't agree and subsequent banning, he
taught me a good bit, did a lot of good for FL and was actually
inspirational in the beginning of my OSM journey showing what was
possible and the impact a prolific editor could have. Sucks that he
couldn't play well with others. Pretty sure he was based out of Orlando.
Floridaeditor started editing in the Melbourne area not far from
Orlando. His editing behavior is somewhat similar to NE2 in that they
are / was editing a fairly wide variety of feature types. Also a focus
on highway types in many other states and forcefully arguing with others
in other states / local stomping grounds.
Anywho, seems like collective wisdom should rule the day with most
things OSM, right? Especially long-time editors who have been through
the wilderness and put a lot of thought into how features be mapped and
tagged. And importantly are engaging with others in a respectful way.
An example unhelpful comment:
"YES!!!! GEORGIA IS BADLY-TAGGED TRUNK FREE! Control is provided by
floridaeditor; i.e., if anybody tries to change one back I will review
the edit and keep/revert as needed."
WTF

I totally support reverting Floridaeditor's changes in order to
restore all these divided highways to trunk status. I believe that
floridaeditor has been given the opportunity to participate in this
discussion, right?

Throughout this entire discussion, it sounds like there's pretty good
agreement that trunk is perfectly acceptable to use as a road
classification in OSM for the eastern US, and at least some general
agreement that the examples I cited are reasonable examples of trunk
roads? Am I mis-interpreting anyone?
And also, that I'm not the only one who's very much disturbed by
floridaeditor's changes?
Does anyone have a strong problem if I continue going through Georgia
and reversing most of his trunk-to-primary changes?
