However I still think there's something wrong with a system that

years to render an almost universal accepted replacement tag for a
deprecated one that was previously rendered.
In my opinion there's hardly a "system" in OSM, because even core
subprojects are rather disconnected (for example no common presets for
JOSM and iD).
Maybe the rendering 'procedure' would be a better description.
It would be impossible to render every tag (even if we just talk about
those with Wiki page), but unfortunately we were not able to agree
even on the most general rules:

We're not talking about 'every' tag. It's about one entity that is
*already* rendered. To benefit the OSM database It was agreed to change
to a new tag. For the past couple of years Mapnik carto has failed to
change over.
Am I right in thinking the style file has been updated only once in
over two years & that was just to delete comments?
There's even a rough plan for so called "database reload":
Ah, It's a plan not a system :-)
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1504
What is the 'database' that's referred to? Presumably not the main OSM one.
however it seems it's not being worked on and Paul is not happy with
such things, because he feels it will basically enable rendering more
items (contrary to his view on the style):
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1975#issuecomment-157134906
Whatever his opinions are, the process used by OSM carto shouldn't
prevent an previously agreed/supported tag from being quickly added &
rendered.
Cheers
