My first thought is that even fewer people will understand what this is
than understand what a "bicycle repair station" is. As I said back in
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2015-November/027436.html
I'd suggest that you try and understand what's happening rather than
just picking another key name and hoping for the best.
Have you looked at the statistics associated with people adding
amenity=bicycle_repair_station, both correctly and incorrectly, and
compared them with (say) shop=bicycle or shop=car_repair?
I suspect you might see a bias towards iD compared with the other two
tags because a search for "repair" comes up with car_repair and
bicycle_repair_station, but not shop=bicycle (which is where most people
take their bike if they can't fix it themselves). You've already logged
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2845 against iD; once a fix
for that is incorporated and goes live we could see if any bias towards
iD continues.
In your 26/11/2015 04:48 post (the parent to the one above) you wrote:

It's perhaps at this stage worth mentioning
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct .
Any mechanical edit would need to be discussed with the wider OSM
community outside the tagging list, and there's no guarantee that it
would be accepted.
Poorly designed and poorly located imports are unhelpful to
OpenStreetMap. Based on the data that you tried to import in the UK,
your bicycle repair station import was both of those things. Mechanical
edits without proper consideration are also unhelpful; please don't do
that too.
