In your proposal you complain about subjectively felt things like "history won't go away", but at the same time you are trying to revert a part of history itself - "the public_transport tags are seven years old now". Many people were involved creating those tags, they are well understood and discriminate the features they describe in a thoroughly documented and plausible way. Just because a lot of deprecated tags have not vanished in favor of the new ones yet does not mean there is a preference on the deprecated tags. A lot of users and apps have adopted the new public_transport tags. It simply does not make any sense to do a rollback on these for the observation of a sluggish adoption/transition rate. The proposal has been long thought about and delivers, in itself, a coherent way of tagging public transport infrastructure. It has learned from previous tags, it is thus a refinement of the previous tagging. There will be lots of people -unheared and not- that oppose breaking a (slow moving) transition process at this point in time. Just be patient and give it some more years. You could help and promote the adoption, instead of dilating it. A lot of rural area data has not been touched for years, waiting for you to do research and remapping efforts.
