many small ways have been changed to highway=track for no reason in this area.

I mapped these a few years ago after personally surveying the area by bicycle. I am re-surveying the area now, and am disappointed to find the ways badly edited by this changeset. 

Changing all ways to tracks is bad mapping, hiding residential and useful paved access roads in with farming tracks.

They have not been properly tagged with surface=* after the change, which I also neglected to do in the past. 

Is user UltimaSnorlax back? 

Please do not edit what you have not surveyed. Please be more careful in your edits.
