It certainly makes overpass turbo queries a lot simpler and more intuitive if we can group all education facilities under education rather than under amenity. Typing "education=*" is shorter than "amenity=school or amenity=university". And won't trip you up if you forget that you also needed to query for amenity=college, etc. We did it for healthcare, we can do it for education. In the short-term it means even more complex queries to find educational establishments because both sets of tags will be in use. However, if we have a 1:1 correspondence (amenity=school -> education=school) then a bulk edit is technically possible and maybe even politically possible. Otherwise let's get rid of amenity=* by tagging EVERYTHING as thing=*. It's the logical next step after using amenity any time we can't think of a better tag. -- Paul
