Hi
I request to replace all occurrence of the prefixed versions of the
contact keys, as it adds no quality to the OSM database

The current situation harms our database in a way that makes our data less
useful. In order to be successful we need to standardize to the contact:
prefix. No more multiple keys for the exact same purpose with just
different names!
But there would still be "multiple keys" (contact:phone, :contact:email etc)
Make tagging more orthogonal! As someone who has
experience in database and normalisation it hurts to see that mappers
don't know how to take care of a database. It is time to take action and
to clean up so OSM data gets more useful.
* Normalisation of that data is required. Key:phone must be
translated to Key:contact:phone or backwards.
No it doesn't
* Having two schemes leads to confusion of mappers (especially
for newbies) which they should use.
Then get rid the the 'contact' schema
