it depends how we see the "craft" tag. I would see it for professions that require some specific knowledge and "craft"/skills, not anybody doing any work would qualify for it. E.g. seasonal workers in the harvest or warehouseman or shoe polisher or key cutter wouldn't be crafts according to that definition, although they will usually be hard working.

As of now, there are 0 occurences of craft=master_locksmith in the db.

I was pleasantly surprised to come across craft=key_cutter in the wiki, as it seems to bridge the gap between the shoe-repair key machine operator, who can copy a small selection of the most common keys, and a real locksmith shop, which sells and services many types of locks and safes and offers high-security key copying, lock repinning, installation, also often these days alarms and security systems.

Copying keys isn't a storied craft like, say brewing or blacksmithing... but it does require some skill. And something is, literally, being crafted. That it can happily coexist with shop=* is a serendipitous bonus of using the craft tag.

Btw, lately I'm starting to see self-service automatic key-copying vending machines in some shops. Do I dare call these robotic kiosks craftsmen? Maybe vending=key_cutter?
