<p>I'm not in favour of combining ditch and drain. My mind sees a
ditch as a dug-out stream which may flow into a stream or flow
into a drain, the drain being a much larger flow. I see drains as
having water flow several metres wide but a ditch as less than a
metre of surface flow.</p>

This would require to deprecate "drain" and remove it from the
presets, otherwise we will continue to have 2 tags in the long
run. As far as I know deprecating a tag is only possible if it's
usage declines. Currently its usage increases steadily. How do you
intend to change that? What is the incentive for the mapper to use
"ditch" instead of "drain" from now on? <span style="color: rgb(33, 33,

will notice the change on the wiki pages.</span><br>
