Not necessary

It's not necessary to make a relation to combine man_made=pipeline ways into a route relation. Database users can easy combine all pipeline ways which share the same characteristics. --Jeisenbe (talk) 05:12, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Agreed in the general case and I discover now this type of relation.

Proposed_features/PipelineExtension introduces count=* on man_made=pipeline which is intended to group return pipes but can also be used to group many parallel pipes on the same osm way. It's an equivalent use case to Proposed_features/Power_routing_proposal and relation may be useful to state which pipes are connected. However, such a relation is an important topic and it should be discussed just like power routing Fanfouer (talk) 00:03, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
