Can you give example of real data consumer(s) where it will improve
situation?

not better (even more waterway values to handle).

As data consumer I would prefer to have general tags - for example, in my
data processing I would prefer to have
spillways mapped as waterway=canal + intermittent=yes rather than
waterway=spillway.

Also I would prefer waterway=canal + pressurised=yes + tunnel=* rather
than waterway=pressurised.

In general, in OSM data processing where I participate and waterway
values are used I would prefer to avoid fragmentation of waterway tag
values.

I know that what I am doing is a tiny subset of what can be done with OSM
but I am curious of what is the source of claims that new scheme will be
better.
