Are you against changing things in general or do you like to always
cut off old schemes completely without legacy support?
Because the described way is about the best solution I could come up
with that both allows change and gives the crowd enough time to adapt.
The only thing that is missing is that the wiki changes should be
backed up by taginfo data to support the claim.
It even allows hardliners to keep tagging the old way indefinably.
('Deprecated' doesn't mean 'forbidden'.)
So: how would you change things in OSM?
