Both options do not support established and documented tagging. The way to
manage this kind of change is to discuss a road to better tagging
while keeping rendering of the established tagging until this has been
accomplished. If retagging is a part of improvement, time should be allowed
to get this done. I would gladly participate in developing better tagging
if needed, and in doing the work according to a broadly adopted and
documented improved tagging scheme.

The current approach is quite different, non-cooperative and
counterproductive.
