  The "voting" in wiki is totally non representative therefore it
means absolutely nothing (or as we can see are damaging).
  Especially when we take into account that these proposals there
created by people with 0 experience in fields that matter.

  It is very sad and disturbing to see that OpenStreetMap fails to
implement at least one of the safeguards against incompetent and
destructive actions:
  a) require at least minimal experience
  b) provide hard limits on when some tagging can be changed or not

  This leads to a classic situation of *** with a grenade decimating
perfectly working parts of the system and there is no way to prevent
that.
  Like "deprecate 100000's of usages of landuse=reservoir, deprecate
100000's of usage of waterway=riverbank, deprecate 100000's of usages
of landuse=forest", what is next? highway=*?
