The future of parking places and toilets in the overturemaps data? #410

Hey,

I just visited this rest area in Norway few days ago and for the fun I compared the data in openstreetmaps:
https://www.openstreetbrowser.org/#map=18/68.59424/16.59066&basemap=osm-mapnik

and overture:
https://explore.overturemaps.org/#16.9/68.594354/16.590991

Overture does know the streets and the buildings properly but the information regarding the toilet and the parking place were stripped away and were not added into the places dataset which I queried locally:

SELECT
      *,
      ST_Distance_Sphere(geometry, ST_Point(16.59136124040593, 68.59423360286094)) as distance
  FROM 'overture/theme=places/*/*.parquet'
  WHERE distance < 500
  ORDER BY distance;
┌─────────┬──────────┬──────────────────────┬───┬──────────────────────┬─────────┬─────────┬──────────┐

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Is there any intention to add these in later versions? The geoparquet format is absolutely fantastic compared to the pbf and thus I would really want to use overture instead for most things.
