So we have the same opinion so far, that's great! Just a question about the OSM sense of "deprecated". Why can't we directly display a big message on each "never use this" tag to inform mappers that they would not use this key/value any more? => May administrators could build a template?
For me, deprecation don't imply a mass and automatic retagging. It's just removing some links on wiki and freeze the page. Thus, changes will be done on the fly, with all the attention expected of the knowledgable persons for each planet areas and new objects won't be described with deprecated stuff. Due to a deprecation we can ask for a special osmose update as for be informed of existing objects which could be shown as old stuff. Do you agree gentlemen?
