Hi again Raphael,

Tag wise, you could follow the way, so IMO it should stay visible on the map too even if the trail visibility is very bad, that's the job of the tag trail_visibility=*. In general, horse riders use often these natural soft surfaced ways when their horse are not shod or curious hikers. They may be tempted to check since there is a difference with the mp but be deceived that there is no exit. Equally if a log is on the way, simply add a barrier=log. As for the maintenance, it's a hint, not a rule, grades 3 to 5 are mostly natural and very likely so in purpose to keep the soil healthy. Some official hiking trails are unmaintained, example this way https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/965940302 was literally like this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1529GMjtcvhRQ5j4TMa7Y1G4SiwIvYdFW

Kugelbaum didn't care to add the log, neither noexit=yes. We should stay objective otherwise we don't consider other kind of users or utilities. 

There are countless examples of useful trails that Kugelbaum AKA tomolobla KA Capslock_Cleaner AKA Digital-circle AKA ltwo AKA grauwutayette AKA eyasonu AKA Arepa has deleted and even restored himself (with mistakes even though I've shown him with clear photos and videos) because I've put him in front of facts.
