The statistics reflect all areas, regardless of which editors were used to
create them.  I stand by them, as numbers do not lie.  There was a 3:1
preference for water=reservoir during 2017 and 2018, two years prior to the
change in iD preset.  The data is open, and taginfo provides a very helpful
REST API.  Feel free to conduct your own statistical analysis.

If you are not willing to have this question put up for a proposal (where,
as with any proposal, you are free to present your argument for all to
consider), your arguments are in bad faith, and again, must be dismissed
without consideration.  Your desire to bypass our democratic process and
upend community consensus for tagging you don't like is frankly insulting
to the rest of us that work hard to achieve consensus in tagging.  Why
should we waste time debating you, if you aren't willing to accept the
outcome of the community decision-making process?
