Sorry, but bed_and_breakfast is not tagged in the "hundreds and
thousands" - it is in fact used less than 700 times worldwide (about 300
in the UK, including 10% of the total in one town alone!). And if you
look at the tag history graph you'll see it has never been above 750 at
any point.
This compares to guest_house which now has 114k uses (was 38k when B&B
was deprecated four years ago). It looks like the guest_house definition
includes B&Bs so there doesn't seem to be any point in having another
top level tag value. Most of the objects I've looked at can easily be
retagged as guest_house, plus quite a few are from the early days of OSM
before this tag consensus appeared.

The suggested alternative is
"tourism=guest_house+guest_house=bed_and_breakfast"
Every time a deprecated tag should be replaced by a tag which is so
unspecific that people have seen to need to add subtags in order to
express what it is (on the same level of specificity as the tag that
should be deprecated), there is some problem. People know what is a
bed and breakfast, the tag it in the hundreds and thousands despite it
being discouraged and flagged as deprecated. Wouldn't it be easier to
accept tourism=bed_and_breakfast, or are there other issues with this tag?
