I also support this simplification of definition and tags.
Is there a possibility to indicate that a tower is specifically a
landmark with a tag of some sort without knowing the height (most of
them are not publicly known around here) ? Because some are really
useful for navigation (visible from a long way) while other are only
visible from up close.
I would use the height tag .. and estimate the height.While it will not
be precise you should be able to convey the difference between two of
significant height differences. Of course you can place a
source:height=visual estimation so that others can see where the height
cam from and fine tune it if they have better data. I have done this for
various towers, in one case I used the shadows in imagery to obtain the
estimation from relative lengths of shadows.
I was personally using the communication_tower tag only to indicate
that it is a landmark when it is an especially huge tower (and that
was the only difference between a tower and this, to me).

Sounds sensible to me. If JOSM and ID support man_made=tower +
tower:type=communication with a preset, it won't be any more
work than typing in a single tag.
Can confirm that it's preset in iD, as I've just mapped one (a
mobile phone tower) but don't know about JOSM (or anything else)?
Does this require a proposal process? How does something
become officially deprecated?
Yep, that's the other question!
Thanks
