My objection is that one of the things settled on with the 2021 reclassification guidelines is that 'trunk' routes should be used to denote the "best" routes connecting major population centers. US 50 through Nevada isn't used preferentially to connect any two major population centers - I don't really agree that Ely counts as a 'trunk'-level destination, but I'm willing to hear others' perspectives on that specifically.

My point in bringing up the classification guidelines is that the bigger the change, the more there needs to be an effort to get some consensus. The point of making the effort to document all this (and to generally stick with the decisions made) is so other mappers can see the logic as to why a certain piece of road was decided on belong to a certain class, give a framework to discuss with other mappers if there's a disagreement, and hopefully, most importantly, stop switching road classifications back and forth ad nauseum.
