It were more logical and would likely lead to less confusion and less discussions. While i'm unsure that a mass edit is worth it, i see no problem in introducing waterway=ditch + usage=drainage as an alternative way to tag drainage ditches. (If it is successful, waterway=drain would disappear gradually.) Note that usage=irrigation;drainage seems to be required anyway for ditches that are used for both irrigation and drainage.
