Agreed, if we are doing this once, we better have a way to do it again as doing it once guarantees that it will happen for another tag in the future. Changing in inside OSM and the OSM Wiki is the easier part though, it’s informing and getting all of the software to recognise the new tag (preferably both as the old tag will still remain on old stuff). Older software is the issue as getting that to be updated is near impossible.

I don't mean to be flippant - this is a serious suggestion. If we are going to have this kind of discussion around any graphology incorporating "possibly offensive" groups of letters we had better have a proper policy in place and a well-oiled process to deal with it. |
