there is a since-deleted track, way 16766417
that used to be drawn right through the two sports pitches.
said pitches do not yet render at z17 yet, so they are newer additions of ... well, your work yesterday while the track was deleted by a telenav employee on 13.sep of this year.

i won't bother with any urls for you to verify and visualise this (unless you really beg kindly or threateningly) so essentially yes, this mapbox employee note no longer applies.
