Thanks, I don't intend to revert my changes because I did not remove any information, and because no one appears to be relying on the prior pattern. As I've already said, the length and position are still available on the river segment, which avoids redundancy and the other issues I mentioned.

Feel free to revert this changeset if you're not convinced by my arguments. I don't live in Sweden and will defer to local mappers there. Alternatively I can map this rapid as an area if that would resolve the geometry issue for you.

Btw, there are thousands of `waterway=rapids` ways mapped along the width of the river in OSM, the example I sent is not an outlier. Check out Canada.
