I'm still not convinced about deprecating tags in general, but my thoughts (for what they're worth) are: Update Map Features. At some point this will result in an updated set of maplint tests. At some point the [EMAIL PROTECTED] clients will update to use these new tests. At some point tiles (with gates) will probably be rerendered, highlighting items "not in map features" if the maplint information layer is shown. Someone may investigate what isn't in map features in an area and update the tagging to the "new" version. If so, then cleaning up will be an ongoing task. Before then of course the main tools used for tagging will probably need any shortcuts for adding gates (I added a couple yesterday using JOSM, for example) to be updated. I didn't look to see what tags it used, or whether Map Features had changed since I last added any. I'm a bit worried that when it comes to scripts there is the prospect of unintentional changes as well as the intended ones, although that seems less likely in this instance as it seems a straight forward switch.
