Yes, this should be reworded as you suggest. The current wording caused
confusion multiple times.

However, we should keep the mention of "other factors ... such as whether a
feature is already in use", especially when it comes to deprecation of
existing tags. I think that this should be even more clearly pointed out. A
majority of 8:7 votes cannot be sufficient for a deprecation of a tag used
by thousands of mappers.
