Yes but one thing is the proposal, the other is the actual usage of tags.
While the actual map usage should be documented on the tag page,
still the proposal can be considered abandoned.
The typical thing about Abandoning is that the proposer has "ceased to
support or look after" [Oxford], the active role of the proposer would be
Cancelling.
There is a wiki page about the proposal process, which recommends abandoning
after 3 month, which I think is too tight.
In the specific case, the proposal was to fully replace 'kindergarten' with
'childcare',
which was proposed 28 months ago, and has also not happened in practical
tagging.
This is quite in contrast to successful changing schemes, such as nursing_home
to social_facility + sub-tagging.
The unfortunate issue with 'childcare' was the insufficient differentiation from
other tags in the first proposal, and the unnecessary attempt to replace an
established
tag in the second. The tag page is extremely vague, so at the end of the day
nobody knows what an object such tagged is in reality.
