This feature has been labeled as deprecated. The recommended replacement is: surface=*.
The reason is documented in Deprecated features. You are still free to continue to use or interpret this tag as you see fit since OpenStreetMap does not have “banned features”.
Under no circumstances should you (semi-)automatically change “deprecated” tags to something else in the database on a large scale without conforming to the automated edits code of conduct. Any such change will be reverted.

Indicates whether a feature is paved using unusual tagging scheme (surface=paved / surface=unpaved is typical). The key paved is usually used with the values yes or no and is a more generic approach for surface values. To additionally tag the precise surface material see surface=*.

Consider using regular and standard surface=paved or surface=unpaved.
