Point taken...

Secondly John, you seem to have unilaterally decided to make this change,
and actually implemented some of it in the course of an afternoon. Where did
you get the mandate to change all the tags by all of the mappers who have
entered these nodes etc?

Actually someone else pointed it out, and others seem to agree with it...

Discussing this for a day on the Tagging list is not enough for you to make
this change.

How much time should it take? I didn't really set a dead line but was
trying to get comments on the idea...

You have already changed amenity=ambulance_station to emergency=ambulance_station, which was not listed above, so you have already started to make these worldwide changes.

These changes are at least subject to the Automated Edits guidelines on the wiki. (Yes I know you are not a bot ...)

Some people may agree with these changes, they may even be a good idea, but deciding and changing in a few hours is a very bad idea and likely to start a flame war (something you, John, constantly seem to relish) and possibly an edit war.

Please engage brain before touching keyboard.
