As a negative example, they seem to have deemed the tag
highway=residential_link bad, and replaced it with either

I think this should really be discussed in the tagging list.
I only know a discussion in Germany which came to the
conclusion that tags like unclassified_link, residential_link and
service_link make not much sense:

The wiki doesn't mention those _link types as well, and my
understanding is that only major roads have a link (if link
in english means what we call "Abfahrt/ Auffahrt" in Germany,
I would describe it as a lane that allows to decrease/increase
speed.
I agree the tagging list is the place to discuss this, I'll follow up
there.

An in-between example: on
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/38089492/history,
highway=stepping_stones was replaced with highway=path. While this helps
consumers use the data, it loses information that should have been kept
(perhaps with surface=* or something similar).
I've asked for a comment from the original mapper now. I agree that a
surface tag
might be missing, I just recognized this a case of a wrongly mapped ford, so
I changed
the tag to path and added a ford=stepping_stones to the node which connects
the highway with the waterway.
Ah! I missed that you added the ford tag. I no longer have any objection
to this.
