[Tagging] Deprecation - waterway=riverbank vs water=river

[Martin Machyna]

Ten years was about enough waiting don't you think?

And I don't know what are talking about. Deprecated is a normal jargon

Developers are certainly not insulting their users by saying that they 
were wrong the whole time while using it.

Generally we would prefer non-competing tags and non-competing people.
