In your proposal you complain about subjectively felt things like "history 
won't go away", but at the same time you are trying to revert a part of 
history itself - "the public_transport tags are seven years old now". Many 
people were involved creating those tags, they are well understood and 
discriminate the features they describe in a thoroughly documented and 
plausible way.

Just because a lot of deprecated tags have not vanished in favor of the new 
ones yet does not mean there is a preference on the deprecated tags. A lot 
of users and apps have adopted the new public_transport tags. It simply does
not make any sense to do a rollback on these for the observation of a 
sluggish adoption/transition rate.

I fully agree with this.





I'm still waiting for full support of new public_transport schema on maps 
(especially on the "transport" layer on osm.org) and decommission of the old
schema. Still no progress on it.. Instead, we still have to use obsolete 
tags like highway=bus_stop to see stops on the map. It is mapping  for 
render I think and we should stop doing it, convert old schema objects to 
new schema (a MapRoulette task?) and use only new schema.





I think the new schema is really good and should be fully implemented. It 
means have support in editors and renderers.
