If it's just to rename the tag, then we have no advantage to change 1.400.000 polygons and all data consumers...

Or the polygons are not 100% identical and you create a mess of two "land" layers which are sometimes overlapping, sometimes not. Editing the map with plenty of landuse polygons is already complex and I'm not speaking for newcomers. Doubling the amount of "land" tags/polygons is shooting ourselves in the foot.
