I already explained (mostly in German, but anyway) why I think I'm right. I would basically just copy&paste it all to the forum, and the others would do the same, and then what?
If an "executive decision" is against me, I'm done with OSM. It's not just about one tag or one object. It's about the appreciation of ground work and expertise. OSM started as a counterpoint to Wikipedia: While "original research" is forbidden in Wikipedia, it was encouraged in OSM. Data derived from GPS was preferred over imported data. That has very much reversed. Surveyed data gets overwritten by imported data or data from arial images, and tags chosen by the original mappers get replaced by tags chosen by validators. As I have already mentioned, some people even get paid for changing the data. We mappers get nothing. I've spent 13 years of my life for OSM and probably tens of thousands of € for fuel and never got anything in return. The only thing that mappers like me can get is the appreciation of our work. I don't see that anymore. This debate tops it all. People edit my object without even knowing what it is, and without asking. They start an edit war and then say I started it (double absurd when I'm the creator). After starting an edit war, they complain to the DWG. This is all unbelievable. The fact that the DWG hasn't already decided in my favor tells how broken OSM is. If the DWG now decides that changing other people's work is more welcome than contributing own work, there is no longer a point in contributing own data whatsoever.
