Replying to this message as for some reason Dave's emails never come
through to my inbox.
I agree these should be updated to the new tag, but not simply with a
automated edit - it would be much better to check each individual
instance first before retagging.
I've just looked at some of the highway=ford nodes, and a number of them
could do fixing/improving other things as well. For example there's a
ford tag but the roads visible on bing haven't been added, with some the
road and waterway aren't connected, and on others there's a ford tag on
a road but no waterway running through it.
So let's get the tag updated but not as a find/replace exercise - do it
as a UK project, maproulette or whatever so that these other issues can
be fixed as well.

I'm about to do a GB wide edit changing highway=ford (545) to ford=yes

It sounds as if you are belittling those who "like to get upset" but at
the same time you're writing your message in a combative and
uncooperative tone that is increasing the likelihood of someone getting
upset!
Yes, it has been discussed a couple of times on Tagging, & once on
OSM-carto when deciding on the icon to use.
It would be good if you could link to these discussions instead of just
claiming they were had, for the benefit of those who joined between "a
few years ago" and now.
Bye
