Hi,

In changeset 10678735 [1] a new user has removed all power_source=wind  
tags on wind turbines.

The result is that wind turbines are no longer rendered on the mapnik  
layer.

It is true that the power_source tag is deprecated, but being  
deprecated does IMHO not mean that a tag should be removed in a  
massive clean-up operation, especially if you do not follow up on the  
consequences of such a change. Adding the new generation tag  
(generator:source = wind) is fine, but removing the old tag is not.

I have emailed the user and asked him to revert the changeset.

Cheers,
Morten
