The issue is naturally, that while nobody cares about this tag value and 
even wasting a couple of bits on it is silly, it serves as a precedence 
that the proposal process, clearly intended for devising new tagging, is 
just as valid for hard deprecation.

See the circular arguments around the deprecation page on the wiki for 
how this works: add a couple of tags that nobody uses or even ever used 
to the page, that will naturally not get any opposition, then turn 
around and point to it as "proof" that there is an approved process for 
deprecating tags.

Essentially what Florian and his claquers have established with this and 
the parcel locker farce, is that with a handful of canvassed votes you 
can hard change widely used tagging with no regard to data consumers and 
the wider OSM community for no more serious reason than a minor 
imperfection in the categorisation of the tagging.

Yes, that is of consequence for OSM.
