Where did I propose a major change? I was pointing out that the given (and often repeated) argument is not as good as it first seems. Lot's of ideas currently floating around: "free form tags", "dictator", "steering committee", "what I am tagging", ... I don't know what's best. There are advantages and problems with each of these ideas. Maybe we'll end up with a mix: "free form tags" in general (for exploring new tags) and a "steering committee" for tags that are used more than xy (to stabilize stuff for mappers and consumers). Maybe we'll end up in a completely different wonderful way to tag things. However, responding to a new idea with "that's not OSM" (as it was done) is certainly not good to find the best way of tagging stuff ...
