Don't render name of nodes with landuse=residential
This will encourage mappers to use the correct mapping-habits.

landuse=residential is a tag that should only be used on areas, not on nodes (Wiki).

An example of a false use of this tag can be see here (Node 303595663)

The OSM community corrected all of this tagging for all of Germany, hence the change in the rendering will not be visible in Germany but effectively prevent this tagging-habit in the future.

The example in the first post probably renders because it was tagged both, landuse=residential and place=hamlet. The landuse was removed Sep 22.

Is this issue still valid?

We should probably discuss this issue more generally. #3876 complains about the opposite issue. #3878 will restore the rendering of landuse=residential on points, since it was removed unintentionally, but it's worth considering if this is a good idea.

On the one hand, mapping landuse=residential as a node with a name is a perfectly reasonable way to represent a housing complex which has not yet been mapped as an area (perhaps there is no good aerial imagery available), and similarly landuse=retail with a name could map the center of a named retail district. Both of there are not the same thing as a place=neighborhood.

But on the other hand, it's more useful to map such features as areas.
