As the order on the int_names might have changed due to edits afterwards
i'd be very careful to convert them automatically to the
name:<languagecode> version which is the right way to do it.

If one could reconstruct the order/tag from the original import and its
the same all the time i'd vote for changing them.

That nobody cared in 4 years is not an argument to delete it or change
it. Probably people have been happy with the results of nominatim
which parses it?
