Description
#6220 added wire_fence and wood_fence.
these are considered to be very bad choices by some, as they endlessly proliferate keys/tags.
a much better approach would be barrier=fence coupled with fence=wood, fence=wire etc
otherwise there is no limit to what could be stuffed in the barrier tag - barrier=wood_fence_with_3_cm_openings...
this makes renderer and other software authors' life much harder, as they can't know in general that barrier=fence is a fence - they have to consider about gazillion of other possibilities

i'd guess those existing values come from previous presets ;)
general handling principles would be great, but might be better solved in a separate ticket

Before changing the preset, we should take into consideration the actual number of tag usages:
Probably we should discuss how to deal with deprecated but common tags in general.
