Well. You have to remember that rendering is not all, and if you
*actually* want to render all of the world, then you'll want to support
the tags used. It's just a bit silly to encourage keeping of
highway=gate when we've just voted on barrier=gate.

Ok, we should and can not forbid it. But we can call it deprecated, and
encourage the switch.
