But healthcare=pharmacy was never included in the proposal. In fact the proposal authors originally wanted to change amenity=pharmacy to shop=pharmacy, but changed the proposal due to negative comments. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?oldid=1318635 - link to voted proposal This explains why healthcare=pharmacy was unused prior to the iD change (the other 4 tags had a small amount of use, though only a couple percent of the amenity=hospital/doctors/clinic/dentist tags) Note also that the voted proposal does not mention replacing amenity=clinic with healthcare=clinic, and does not specifically state that any tags are to be deprecated. - Joseph Eisenberg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
