yes, and it is written in capital letters, while formal tags should stick
to lower case. While I share your concerns, this is a "historic" tag and
the docu is documenting the defacto state (more than 7000 of these already
in the data): http://taginfo.osm.org/search?q=man_made%3DMDF

Regarding the "it is only one functional component inside a telco central
office building": you could read this as describing a location of a telco
installation with also a MDF present on the site. Maybe an attribute (to
add to a telco site) would have been better. This data, while it might not
be surveyable on site, is publicly available in Germany:
