Update JOSM to fix the Java Logjam

Maybe also post it on https://www.facebook.com/josmeditor

noexit=* ...

noexit=* ist in meinen Augen eigentlich hauptsächlich ein QA-Tool Tag. Damit macht man Tools, die nach ways suchen deren Ende nicht verbunden ist, klar, dass der Weg dort wirklich zu ende ist und in keiner Weise mit der Straße 10m weiter verbunden ist.

This is a personal opinion: If you cannot recognise the highway classification then you should default to the lower class.

Or you tag is as unclassified. Oh wait…

highway=unclassified

I think the problem is that many people think this key means “I don’t know what kind of road this is”. Took me a long time to realize it’s not a placeholder. Just a very missleading wording for a tag.

Improving the OSM map - Why don't we? [1]

Just wait 5 years until enough people use the new tag and the old one falls of and more people remove it. Aparently that’s how people here want it.

Because of that I have currenly lost my interest in OSM. It’s just too slow and too anoying if you want to change any kind of tagging. Why do we still have amenity=emergency_phone in the database? That’s just bullshit….

It's elegant they said. It will be eaiser to change street names they said.

I’m not sure what the title has to do with the image. It’s obvious that changing the name on six relations is easier than changing it on 62 nodes.

Except with JOSM it isn’t. If I have to filter an area for 6, 62 or 1000 nodes doesn’t matter. It’s exactly the same amount of clicks. And even with ID I rather check those addr:street tags than finding those 6 relations.
