Anyone else have any opinion, in favor or against adding
amenity=childcare to the wiki page Map Features, and to
Template:Map_Features:amenity?

If there are any concerns, I can make a proposal to discuss it fully,
but if no one objects after 2 weeks, then I will add it. (Unless
anyone objects to this process)
