[Tagging] Deprecate water=pond?

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

There are lots of tags in OSM that have fuzzy borders with respect to size
or importance. Some that I can think of are waterway=river/stream and
place=island/islet. Although the island/islet tag does have a hard boundary
at least in the JOSM validator and an approximate boundary in the OSM wiki
("about 1 square kilometre"). That doesn't mean that the distinction is
useless for lake/pond.
