If that proposal demonstrates clear community consensus for deprecation (per the guidelines in our proposal process), we can update our wiki documentation to explicitly recommend that landuse=reservoir be gradually replaced by natural=water+water=reservoir. If, instead, that proposal demonstrates that there is still a sizable subset of mappers that prefer the landuse=reservoir tag, we would simply leave both tags documented without caveats, noting the results of both this and the 2011 proposals, and allow the community to sort out which tagging scheme is preferred based on actual usage over time.<br></div><div><br></div><div>As I am the one that raised this issue in the first place, I would be happy to draft such a proposal for consideration.
