You can do this too, I won’t complain.

The lifeguard tags that have "evolved through the community process" are flawed 
and not really used much, so we’re changing them. 
(I will not be doing a proposal, but posting to tagging mailing list seems 
nicer than just changing things)

going forward:

`emergency=lifeguard`
`lifeguard=*`   (tbh I dont care what values go here, base, place, space, 
whatever)

It’s fine for people to keep tagging these but I probably wouldn't add a preset 
for this in iD.

It could be `office=lifeguard` then.  Let’s get rid of them.


Thanks, Bryan
