[Tagging] Tagging Voting system- time for reform?

[Serge Wroclawski]

There seems to be conflation of this list as having some kind of
administrative function. It doesn't.

This isn't an OSMF working group, it's a discussion list, and as such
there is no administrative function for this list beyond the
boundraries of the voting process on the wiki.

In OSM, "official" tags have no greater status than unofficial ones.

If you'd want to change that, you'd need to change things in OSM at a
far more fundamental level, and (frankly), I'd be very hesistant to
see this happen.

I do think there'd be value in some practical tagging cleanup- moving
from 2-3 tags meaning the same thing to a single tag, through some
agreed-on process, but I don't think this is the right forum for it.
