I'm with you, I don't remember that debate ever being resolved. So far as I
am concerned, the original tagging using highway=footway/cycleway/bridleway
etc. remains in place until such a time as we have a democratic process that
can replace it with a new schema.

I also happen to loathe the fussy highway=path;foot=designated etc. tagging,
which is a separate point.
