That's not what I meant. Significant areas of managed forest is what I meant, just as it's described in the wiki. I meant keep the meaning, keep the uses for now, but facilitate a better alternative at the same time, for those cases where the type of forest/wood is not (yet) known and for patches of tree-covered land within other landuses. Over time, you will see the usage change. Seeing trees will be landcover=trees; for managed forest: landuse=forest; for unmanaged woods: natural=wood.
natural=wood and landuse=forest imply landcover=trees except where otherwise specified, so that's totally backwards compatible with all the existing millions of uses. No worries there. 2018-06-08 0:11 GMT+02:00 Andy Townsend <ajt1...@gmail.com>: > On 07/06/18 23:00, Peter Elderson wrote: > >> I think landuse=forest should remain intact, for cases where forestry is >> actually how the land is used. >> So the tag is not deprecated, it's just applicated more consistently. >> > > So you're proposing to change the meaning of a tag that has 3.5 million > uses? > > I'm sure that you have only the best of intentions, but, er, good luck > with that :) > > Best Regards, > > Andy > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging > -- Vr gr Peter Elderson
