Wait a minute.

If a new proposal tries to deprecate a well established tag it will be
rejected in over 90% of the cases. I do not know why people tend to be
conservative but they are.

In the case of public_transport, the conclusion was to preserve an easy
tagging system.

Evolution and deprecating in OSM will always lead to situations where
several common tags need to be interpreted.

My hope is/was that more people will/would comment on the tickets/issues
but sadly this was not the case so far.

If you keep on adding both schemes simultaneously you will not notice
the problem and there will be no reason for developers to adjust the
software.

One site [1] did at least start to render the new scheme along the old
on, so there is still hope that others will follow.
