383 813 *landuse* <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/landuse> *reservoir* <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=reservoir> 334 450 *water* <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/water> *reservoir* <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/water=reservoir> I think it does make no sense to deprecate a tag with 380k uses. The two will stay with us in parallel for the entire lifetime off the OSM database As you rightly state that no automatic conversion should be used, any atempt of manual editing is a waste of time. In addition, please consider that deprecated features are being flagged by editor sw on saving any changeet that contains an deprecated tag, even if it has nothing to do with your actual editing, this would be adding another contnued nuisance for mappers (there are already others opf that type).
