Changing any long-established tag will have long lasting ripple
effects in the many data consumers. Any such tag migration would need
to have a high degree of value in the change to justify the change.
In general, tags are just a token and are increasingly hidden by
editors and not seen by mappers unless they prefer to create tag values
manually.
