Because the "Water details" proposal¹ included the deprecation. It was even mentioned on this list that the proposal included deprecation - although learning which tags exactly were proposed for deprecation required clicking the wiki link iirc. Still, the deprecations should not be as a surprise to anybody participating here. The proposal also notes that water=reservoir is supposed to be synonymous to landuse=reservoir, which directly contradicts the interpretation brought forward here. Using intermittent=yes/no seems sensible, though - and it was also mentioned in the "Water details" proposal.
