  As I remember after this proposal nothing has actually changed in
the database/tools/usage. After some time (year or two) iD was
introduced and started introducing new scheme en masse without
possibility to use original water scheme. As this started destroying
OSM products in Lithuania, I then contacted Zverik specifically to
clear up if new water proposal deprecated anything and got an answer
that "no, it does not deprecate anything". I then fixed the wiki -
removed deprecation notes for original water scheme. This conversation
should have been somewhere in the open. Maybe somebody will be able to
find that if needed.
