<p>I also agree with this, I don't think it would be appropriate to
substitute amenity=drinking_water at the moment, since it is a
working tag and it is quite affirmed. No reason to deprecate it in
favour of some new and rather unknown tags.</p>
<p>If nothing else, I feel that amenity=drinking_water is currently
the best working tag among all the ones discussed.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>What I'd like is a stabilization and clear definition of all the
other tags so that they could actually get in use.</p>
<p>If these other tags get adopted by the community, then the
deprecation of amenity=drinking_water might be discussed, but this
is definitely not the right moment.</p>
<p>Overall, I'd like to have a discussion about how to regularize
amenity=fountain, man_made=water_tap and
man_made=drinking_fountain in order to remove all this overlap
among those tags and providing a more sensible and less confusing
tagging scheme.<br>
