It is true that the power_source tag is deprecated, but being

(generator:source = wind) is fine, but removing the old tag is not.

I'm curious why the power_source tag is set to deprecated while the Mapnik stylesheet has not been adapted to include the new tag. I would think that would the logical step. No use in making a new tag that is not rendered, especially when the old tag is supposed to not be used anymore. The wiki is also less than helpful. The wiki page of power_source [1] is an immediate redirect to generator:source [2] with no mention that power_source might be deprecated.
