[Tagging] Deprecation of man_made=well

[François Lacombe]

Thank you guys for figures and queries regarding usage.
Indeed, water_well, petroleum_well and so on are many more used than
man_made=well. It has often been the case in the past.

My point was to know how and by whom the decision was made to deprecate
man_made=well (apart from usage).
As well as decisions to make a split between wells' substance in the
man_made value.

This is particular life cycle step we use to decide by voting and I don't
even see discussion about that.

Secondly, as we currently discuss about adding more substances (hot water
mainly) or structures (shafts, wells, boreholes...) for wells, it may be
interesting to look at substance=* tags.

Can't a petroleum_well be protected or unprotected (undocumented)?
There are too many values to map the same thing :s

Best regards
