Deprecate man_made=bridge because openstreetmap-carto developers say this is too difficult to render as expected.
Rationale
If this is too complicated to render then we should consider abandoning this as an unworkable definition and come up with something better.
Current rendering invites mappers to use all kinds questionable workarounds to bend rendering to their wishes.
Also, many people may innocently consider the definition of man_made=bridge as "good example" how to do things and we could end up with many more features designed similarly with the prospect that they would never realistically work.
The feature is very important but a faulty implementation may be causing more harm than good.
