I also agree with this, I don't think it would be appropriate to 
substitute amenity=drinking_water at the moment, since it is a working 
tag and it is quite affirmed. No reason to deprecate it in favour of 
some new and rather unknown tags.

If nothing else, I feel that amenity=drinking_water is currently the 
best working tag among all the ones discussed.


What I'd like is a stabilization and clear definition of all the other 
tags so that they could actually get in use.

If these other tags get adopted by the community, then the deprecation 
of amenity=drinking_water might be discussed, but this is definitely not 
the right moment.

Overall, I'd like to have a discussion about how to regularize 
amenity=fountain, man_made=water_tap and man_made=drinking_fountain in 
order to remove all this overlap among those tags and providing a more 
sensible and less confusing tagging scheme.
