Why would it need to be fixed?

The overwhelming majority of users never see anything else than a "Dojo" 
label when adding/editing/whatever such facilities with the current 
tagging, and with a different tagging, they would just continue to see 
"Dojo". As long as the tagging is conflict free (in a technical sense) a 
change just doesn't provide any added value, only downsides. I could see 
an angle pro change if there were specific semantics associated with the 
tagging, so say water=dojo would probably not be a good idea, but moving 
things around in facility tags just doesn't do anything.

BTW it is no different with parcel lockers, the large majority of  users 
had previously added and manipulated these as "Parcel lockers", and 
guess what, they continue to remain "Parcel lockers".
