   Yet for ten years or even more the logic was that if the same way is

with highway=cycleway because it is for pedestrians as well, so such
shared ways for this long period were tagged as
highway=path+bicycle=designated+foot=designated. This has also been
the preset in the main OSM editor - JOSM. This is in documentation and
maps for ten or more years.

   Are there any reasons why this must change now? Any benefits?

When I draw a highway=cycleway using the JOSM preset, it offers the
option to tag it with foot=yes/no/dedicated. Likewise, when I draw a
highway=footway, it offers bicycle=yes/no/dedicated. I can't say how
long it's been there because I don't generally use the presets. J
