Right... This is quite a dilemma. Effectively this means we can't 
approve a new key here, before we approved another proposal to change 
stone_type to something else. I guess that this proposal won't be 
approved because of "why change a working tag - just because we don't 
like the name is not a reason". At least I wouldn't approve 'stone' as a 
replacement because it is way too generic.

So, your suggestion seems to be the only way out, historic=ogham_stone.
That's not too bad.
