24592	FR: tag migration from `maxweight=*` to `maxweightrating=*`; please support `maxweightrating=*`	Penegal	team	"Hello, there.

It has been recently noted by the French community that the maximum weight road signs from France did not mean limit on actual vehicle weight (`maxweight=*`) but max allowed weight (`maxweightrating=*`). After discussion, a progressive, nation-wide migration to `maxweightrating=*` [https://forum.openstreetmap.fr/t/proposition-d-edition-automatisee-migration-de-maxweight-en-maxweightrating-pour-la-france/35439/71 has been decided by the community].

In February 2026, all objects tagged with `maxweight=*` will be nation-wide dual-tagged with `maxweightrating=*`, with a `note=*` warning of the incoming deprecation of `maxweight=*` for France, and that these `maxweight=*` tags should now be ignored and no longer updated. In July 2026, all these objects will have their `maxweight=*` tags removed, along with the `note=*`.

Validator rules for this deprecation will be added in France JOSM validator rules in due course. That being said, it seems that JOSM currently not supports `maxweightrating=*` as it supports `maxweight=*`; could you please add support for `maxweightratin=*`?"	enhancement	new	normal		Core
