whether or not they are lost depends on how you interpret them, the information 
in which legislation the entity is located is already there in OpenStreetMap, 
it mustn’t necessarily be added to the key.

Generally, de:place=city is not working on a tag level, because city is not a 
German term as suggested by the key. It should be DE:place if referring to 
Germany. As this tag doesn’t seem to be documented, it is also unclear in 
meaning and might be used for different things. IMHO if we went for country 
specific tags it would be better to have the actual term in the tag, like 
DE:place=kreisfreie_Stadt
but then I would still prefer to have a key that refers to administrative 
entities, rather than socio-cultural ones, e.g. DE:admin_type=kreisfreie_Stadt
or admin_type:DE=...
