Please bear in mind that quite a lot of them can be re-tagged
automatically, to pick just one example, all SAC T4 can be turned from

highway=path
sac_scale=alpine_hiking

to

highway=demanding_path
demanding_path=alpine_hiking

without any doubt and without creating nonsense. In the following course
of time, people can add for example "scramble=1" – just like many
streets exist in the database, are a helpful & meaningful information,
but still wait for someone adding lit=yes/no.

This reduces the manual transition effort to those "few" paths that are
"nearby" the "border" between easy and demanding path. Yes, it will
still need years – but that's very likely the same with any approach to
make highway=path less ambiguous.

Best regards,
Georg
