Each time someone reports a problem with a giant polygon in my country, we try to solve it locally. CLC landuses are by far not perfect but like other similar countries with a low density of population, it's better than nothing, especially for landuse polygons which is one of the most painful, unpopular and unrewarding task in OSM (outside urbanized areas). Next time you meet such bad CLC landuse polygon in France, I would suggest that you send a message to talk-fr@ (even in English) to get some support. I'm upset when I see armchair mappers suggesting to massively remove foreing data without any discussion with the local community. What is questionable is not the criticism but this approach of thinking that the local community cannot decide by itself if something is wrong and need some rework.
