That's irrelevant; you're still changing data across the planet.

I don't see these edits as out of line or unusual. It's not so different from the dozens of other projects to create more unified tags so that data consumers have a chance of using the right tag.

Data consumers still need to know if the data is changing beneath their
feet, though.

There's no standard way to notify data consumers, other than perhaps OWL or some sort of history tracking. The alternative to this edit would be that data consumers miss a bunch of tags due to the ambiguity.
