Hello @ftrebien
In the first paragraph of the mailing you wrote to open the discussion (today) you talk about “I”, and basically confessed that you discussed this with nobody (For a while, I tried to come up with a balanced generic scheme based on the regional importance of these roads,[2] which has been questioned,[3] so I would like to hear opinions on the matter.) 
This is just you making editions given your personal opinions. 

You just said it. Don´t invoke local communities. Be honest please.

Even the wiki you cite is partially written by yourself. We checked the versions.
And if there is a local community: are they really local? Do they have a mandatory saying over the wiki? Where do they live? Do the Chilean mappers have a say in this? Did you discuss with the Chinese and Uruguayans? But when the actual mappers that did this are mappers you can contact, then you switch to “this is international” and post a mailing list asking for opinions, while dismissing the wiki. Sorry, but this is a blatant contradiction.

Is the wiki not international? Or is this just another “We are special, we don´t want to follow the rules”?
So, you change versions while running from your debunked examples. When it fits it's international, when it doesn´t it is local. (and then you change the wiki).

Sadly, I think you don´t understand the classification system at all, invoking high traffic and thinking the classification system lies upon what you think is important is just not understanding it.
Regards and sorry if I am not going back on this, but IMO this is another "I own the place" mapper that writes his own wiki and then invoke a one-man local community rights while not contacting the very same people that draw the roads in the first place.

not ok.
