You can find the discussion in the wiki. Even users that used the
type=collection tag agreed to unify the tagging.

Two years ago I've contacted all users that have contributed waterway

I've advertised and talked and the stats shows, that many users use the
unified tagging scheme.
See:

The final vote is just to finish the proposal and unify the last few
