      Yes, you're right. But I was the author of "changing_table" and
      the guy who lead it throw the proposal process and also Moderator
      of the discussion and votes. And contacting all the editors was no
      problem and they implemented "changing_table" and deleted "diaper"
      presets. See JSOM, OSMand, Vespucci and also iD. My effort shows
      that working together with different groups works.<br>

    <p>A) at least I didn't "delete" the diaper preset.</p>
    <p>B) you are confusing the decision that something is too silly to
      argue about, with agreement.<br>

      I would highly appreciate it when you give me a chance. In real
      life people are revelling their secrets to me because they trust
      me and I give them the feeling of being accepted as they are. It

                  <div>Doing so is probably not going to achieve much. 
                    First we need to defragment OSM itself.</div>
                  <div>It doesn't matter what wonderful tags we come up
                    with here, if carto refuses to render them</div>
                  <div>then they won't get used.  It doesn't matter what
                    wonderful tags we come up with here, if editors</div>
                  <div>don't implement them as presets they won't get
                    used.</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>Carto won't (in general) render a tag unless it's
                    widely used.  Editors won't (in general)</div>
                  <div>implement tags in presets unless they're widely
                    used.  Unless editors and carto support</div>
                  <div>tags, they won't get widely used, so editors and
                    carto won't support them.  Chicken and egg.</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>There are complications (of course).  Carto (in
                    general) refuses to implement aliases, so</div>
                  <div>whatever the merits of deprecating landuse=grass
                    in favour of landcover=grass, carto will</div>
                  <div>refuse to render landcover=grass.  Editors don't
                    (in general) like implementing aliases</div>
                  <div>either.  So however much we wish to try to fix
                    bad tags, which are frequently misused</div>
                  <div>because the name or value was a bad choice, it
                    probably won't happen.  Some editors</div>
                  <div>occasionally decide they'll ignore the list, the
                    wiki, and carto, and go their own way</div>
                  <div>(sometimes they get their way and sometimes they
                    get a slap on the wrist).<br>
                  </div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>So what we need at this stage is not a
                    defragmentation process but joined-up thinking</div>
                  <div>between the various groups.  I'm not holding my
                    breath on that one.<br>
