Changing tagging scheme as workaround for a single database is a really
poor idea.

No, because it changes current tagging scheme without a good reason.
I suspect that this proposal may be doing the same (changing tagging scheme
without real benefit)

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

b)  I see noi value in duplicating existing data into waterway key.
