Hi @edops, I agree that places in Maine had been severely over-classified before this change and that this new state is probably a better starting point for place classification than every municipality being place=town. That said, OSM is a community project large-scale unilateral changes are frowned upon and can lead to edit wars. Please join in the discussion at https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/broad-undiscussed-new-england-place-name-reclassification/111201 to discuss Maine place classification with others in the community.
