Nuke night_sky

BUR #9883 has been rejected.

nuke night_sky

A pointless compound tag that's literally just two existing tags stuck together; there's no reason not to just use night and sky.

This was in fact proposed back in 2009 but nothing came of it then.

note that night_sky already implies both night and sky, so no gardening required before the nuke takes effect

So what about something like starry_sky. Isn't that also just a compound tag of star_(sky) and night?

you can have a starry sky during the day apparently: post #5073605
probably due to high altitude

Not really, tags like starry_sky and cloudy_sky are for when the sky is mostly filled with stars or clouds. There may only be a single star or cloud in the sky, in such cases one should not use the *y_sky tags.

And you also have images depicting the transition between night and dusk/dawn see: starry_sky ~dusk ~dawn

starry_sky's not as simple as night_sky as it accommodates daytime skies full of stars like post #2773891, but not nighttime skies with only a few stars such as post #4956293. I also don't think it deserves to be nuked; it does a good job of denoting prominently starry skies.
