main point would be review of tagging that can be still redefined as
only few objects were mapped
this benefit is lost for tags already widely used which cannot be redefined

another benefit is confirming that some specific tagging is liked by
community - but for very popular tags this is pointless

whether deprecations are beneficial and how helpful are proposals here
is an interesting topic, but it anyway does not apply here
