I know. That's why I had asked earlier whether it would be better to establish a completely new police-tag for all police facilities (probably with double-tagging of police stations during a period of adaptation) or to maintain amenity=police for police stations and establish the police-tag only for all other facilities. I'm still in favour of the first option. It requires retagging, but we'd end up with a neat and consistent tagging scheme. And software could map amenity=police and police=station as the same. amenity=police would thus slowly be phased out and not have to be eliminated completely in one stroke. If this seems viable, I would expand the proposal by a migration proposal from amenity=police to police=station.
