Yes, many participants opposed the deprecation, as did I. However, I wanted to keep those tags as clearly defined shortcuts for common key combinations (that is, highway=footway e.g. should be exactly the same as highway=path + foot=designated), simply to ease transition and save some typing effort. Right now, however, people are trying to interpret some additional meaning into the path vs. *way distinction that originally wasn't there at all. (Things like paved surface, urban vs. rural, intentionally maintained etc.) This is definitely *not* what I voted for.
