Now that the new way of rendering with Carto instead of Mapnik is finally becoming reality, it becomes clear that highway=bus_stop will never (or at least not during my lifetime) be replaced by public_transport=platform/bus=yes.
I started to double tag all the new stops I'm adding and the ones I'm updating. Some people claim that public_transport=platform/bus=yes is longer and less efficient than highway=bus_stop, but of course highway=bus_stop public_transport=platform bus=yes is even less so, but I stopped caring about that.
