hazard=yes is neither banned nor discouraged. It was simply not included
in the list of proposed approved tags due to objections raised during the
RFC. The goal was to approve the hazard tagging that everyone agreed on.
Since hazard=yes has some existing tagging (>600 uses), it would still be
appropriate to document its use - it would just be listed as "in use"
rather than "approved" on its wiki page.
