doesn't explain why "amenity=lifeboat" is "deprecated". Like it
or not, this is used exactly how you'd expect:

But as I've pointed out a couple of times before, by policy, OSM
doesn't map mobile items
... and that discussion veered off (on IRC) into "things that can move
but usually don't" as I recall.
Yes, that (totally undocumented & undiscussed) tag could be either
written up to specify it's the location where a lifeboat is moored, or
it could be changed to amenity=lifeboat_mooring, but, is it
verifiable? Can anybody walk up to that spot 24/7/365 & say Ah yes,
that's the /George//& Mary Webb/? Sorry, but no they can't, as it may
be elsewhere at that moment.
Most of the time, yes they can* - 8000 launches per year between 400
lifeboats is on average 20 per year. If we take a guess at 8 hours per
launch, it's there 98% of the time.
Best Regards,
Andy
