MinZoom() limitation

[BenOnTrack]

Based on https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker/blob/master/docs/CONFIGURATION.md

MinZoom(zoom): set the minimum zoom level (0-15) at which this object will be written. Note that the JSON layer configuration minimum still applies (so :MinZoom(5) will have no effect if your layer only starts at z6).

Is there any reason the "max" MinZoom is 15 ? Maplibre-gl can go up to level 24, what if I want to render some features only at some zoom level above 15 ?

Also as of now setting MinZoom(16) does not raise any error (took me a while to figure out what was happening - until I properly read the docs) - it just does not apply any MinZoom, and rely on the layer.minzoom (as expected - but maybe an error would be appropriate if it remains as is?)

MinZoom just dictates the actual vector tiles that the feature is written to. You will almost never actually generate vector tiles at z16+. At higher zoom levels, Maplibre et al traditionally take the z14 (or z15) tiles and render them at a greater scale. If you want to further adjust what appears at z15-z24 you will need to set that in your stylesheet.

It is in theory possible to generate vector tiles at (say) z22, but if you're doing that for any non-negligible area, you will need to do it dynamically - probably by serving from a PostGIS database - rather than pre-generating tiles with tilemaker.

I was trying to optimize my tiles size, but I understand the concern and why it would be limited to such zoom.
Thanks for the feedback.
