It never went through the proposal process, and dates back to the era a decade ago when the first 3D renderers in OSM showed up. Over the years, the approach has seen some use in the database, but it's far behind the roof:shape tagging from Simple 3D Buildings in popularity. Application support is very limited, I don't know if any software except OSM2World supports it. Still, it's the most popular approach for modelling roofs with geometry (as opposed to picking from a catalogue of typical shapes) if that's what you're looking for. My recommendation is to only consider it if the roof shapes from Simple 3D Buildings aren't sufficient to describe a given roof. (Even then, you could still add the closest roof:shape tag for compatibility reasons.)
