I believe there's a difference between discouraged & deprecated.
i agree path & footway are synonymous. When they're substituted for each
other there's no difference in meaning.
The path proposal never produced a clear, unique definition.
AFAIA, neither tag had any impied permissions or condition attributes.

Path and footway are the same .. to me. When I first joined OSM I was
told they had different default permissions to allow UK people to do a
short way of tagging those permissions, true or false I don't know.
Seemed like a nasty way of doing it to me. In Australia .. the view
was taken - country side = path, city = footway. Still nasty.
I disagree that path is being 'actively discouraged'. If it were then
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpath would be marked
'depreciated'.

Hi
Nothing except the fact people walk along a way is implied by path or
footway. The legality or ability to use it is defined with
sub/adjective tags, such as width.
The path tag is actively being discouraged.

OSM-Carto rendering doesn't distinguish it from 'footway' any longer.

Both footway and path infer a way of a certain width suitable for
people to use, neither infers any legal right of use as far as I am
concerned.
If starting over path is a better word as people outside of OSM have
clue what it is but otherwise I see them as interchangeable.
