Not impossible, but it helps a lot if editors incorporate it into their

while I also don’t see an urgent need to deprecate healthcare=pharmacy, I
neither see a compelling reason to use it for “normal pharmacies” (those that
are tagged as amenity=pharmacy with dispensing=yes/no). As long as there isn’t
a “fix” to remove the amenity tag, the double tagging is not

All very logical and well-reasoned. But...

The tag amenity=pharmacy was approved in 2006 and since then has been the
