Discussion started as result of
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/2095

Is it considered desirable to support using seasonal key without
intermittent=yes?

I think that seasonal for values other than no should be accompanied by
intermittent=yes (for the same reasons as parking=surface tag alone is
not sufficient, one should also add amenity=parking).

But some think that this is adding superfluous detail (like adding
motor_vehicle=yes to motorways).

Current situation:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:seasonal#Relation_to_intermittent
150k of seasonal=*, mostly yes/no values
( https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/seasonal#values )
1600k of intermittent=* yes/no values
( https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/intermittent#values )
