surface=paving_stones:30 is a bad idea - detail such as colour or exact size of paving stones or their shape or exact type of concrete/stone should not go into surface=* note: most uses was already removed (bot edits that did this are linked at surface=paving_stones:30 tag page) at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dpaving_stones:30 See also https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/surface=paving_stones%3A30#chronology for retagging history, only 1363 remain today. Yes, aliases of other tags (and for nearly all uses it is a duplicate of surface=paving_stones) are not a large problem, having some tag aliases it is not even top 10 problem for new data consumers or top 100 problem for openstreetmap community. But it is one of easier ones to reduce its scale. I propose to change all still remaining surface=paving_stones:30 to surface=paving_stones paving_stones:shape=square paving_stones:length=0.3
