I don't know this case, but I know case with adding more POI icons:

I guess it's Andy Allan himself which is the most conservative and - 
sadly - not too vocal about his choices. And he's rather not aware how 
powerful he is. Being the final authority on what gets (or does not get) 
into the default map rendering, he has kind of real "veto" for tagging 
schemes (like with partial public_transport=* implementation).

I also strongly disagree with such approach. Do we have examples of any 
substantial tagging misuse (other than tagging for rendering, which is 
also a consequence of too tight rules) or is it just overly cautious 
behavior, as I suspect?

Once I wanted to have more types of peaks, based on the same principle:

but users of this list were generally not sympathetic to this idea.
