[Tagging] Walking & Cycling Node Network tagging: undoing the hijacking of rcn and rwn

[s8evq]

I see that network:type=node_network has been added to the wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:network%3Drwn&diff=next&oldid=1897551
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:route%3Dbicycle&diff=next&oldid=1866174

Was there consensus on this in the end? I didn't follow the whole discussion.
