Hi, Hcourt! 
My name is Yuliya, and I am the Quality Control Lead on the OSM team at Lyft. We have encountered several changesets where you have changed the road classification from “residential” to “residential_link” (https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/238909875). According to the OSM Wiki page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_link, there is no such road class as a “residential link”. It seems more appropriate to retain the original highway type, especially since such roads are not rendered on the OSM tiles. Have there been any changes in mapping rules related to the topic? Could you please clarify why, in your opinion, the residential class is not suitable for these roads? 

Best regards, Yuliya
