rename cocktail glass

BUR #32203 has been rejected.

create alias cocktail_glass -> martini_glass
deprecate cocktail_glass

This tag is being used for any glass containing a cocktail, instead of the specific shape (inverted cone on a stem) it's intended for.

I've only ever heard it called a cocktail glass regardless of the exact shape, even Wikipedia recognizes them as generally interchangeable. From a quick search it looks like the term "cocktail glass" itself is quite broadly applied, so I feel like you're better off unaliasing martini_glass and keeping that for the strictly conical ones.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean. The two terms are interchangeable, the only reason I'm proposing reversing the alias and deprecating cocktail glass is because it's being mistagged as any glass that has a cocktail in it instead of the specific shape. I don't think simply reversing the alias will be enough stop people from mistagging it.

Reversing the alias seems fine by me, but the deprecation won't work. Removing the alias afterwards would mean you can deprecate cocktail_glass but that would be stupid. If I'm tagging a cocktail glass and see it's deprecated, I'll just go "wtf".

This tag needs a lot of cleanup, it's currently a mess.

It could be argued that cocktail glass could be turned into an umbrella tag for other things including champagne coupe or hurricane glass, but I'm not sure there's any point of that when we already have drinking glass.
