I guess what I would say is - this was never going to be an exact science of numbers, some maps it is advantageous to show a larger or more surrounding area (Zurich), some maps not (Auckland). It's hard to please everyone - if things are left off a map people take offence, if more than just a metro is on a map, others say it's an innacurate representaion of the city. Take the boundries you see with a grain of salt, we are all smart enough to know what is a city and what isn't.
