I didn't reply to https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2023-April/088196.html because it just made no sense - for example you said there "this batch is supposed to be listing 1:1 replacements" when you went on to change lots of individual values to "shop=yes".  That's either muddled thinking, a mistake or somewhat disingenuous.  I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed your post was just in error, and you hadn't meant to say "I am changing everything to shop=yes" because we had specifically discussed exactly that case previously AND in that example your had reverted your erroneous changes.
