No. The water proposal didn't change or deprecate anything, and that is explicitly stated on both the proposal and water=* wiki pages. It does two things: 1. It reassures that it's okay to tag any body of water visible on a satellite imagery with natural=water. You don't have to search for clues for the type of the body of water, you can just tag it with natural=water, and it would be perfectly fine. When another mapper with local knowledge finds that, they can add a detailing water=* tag. 2. It allows for discerning lakes, oxbow lakes, and coves; ponds and reflecting pools; reservoirs and wastewater reservoirs. The major reason for starting the proposal was to invent a way to tag oxbow lakes, btw. Data consumers will have to live with two tagging schemes, as that is the way OSM works. It's not the first time and not the last. IZ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
