Everybody agrees on that. The old tags still stay valid.

I do not understand this conclusion.
If we agree by voting on new tags - even if their use is only recommended and not mandatory (how could anything be mandatory in OSM?) - so if we agree that we can and should use the new tags, how can you conclude that „it’s not necessary“ to render them? This is a complete non-sense. Tagging something which than will not be rendered, what is this for???

I really do not understand.

Either there is a problem with the tagging - then everybody should agree to improve it.

Or there is a problem with rendering this tagging - which somebody should maybe explain me.

Is it technically so difficult to render both tagging schemes? Is this situation satisfying for anybody?
