Joseph says tagging usage should dictate OSM-carto:
the community should make tagging decisions based on what works best for mappers and what makes logical sense, without worrying what a particular renderer will do.
But then ignores the more popular disused: prefix
But this is not always sensible in the case of physical features like a disused man_made=water_tower -
And also misunderstands that disused:* /does/ represent current physical objects.
the feature looks the same whether or not it is full of water, and general database/map users are interested in these features as orientations points in the landscape, not as part of the water supply network, so it's sensible to use man_made=water_tower + disused=yes.
