I agree that an "immutable" tag is a good idea, and I'd certainly enjoy seeing it implemented (two words: geodetic pillars). However, land use *is* mutable... I'd agree on marking this dataset as immutable *only* *if* the NYS DEC agrees to regularly pass on OSM any updates to the dataset. Otherwise, we would end up with obsolete data, which is a Bad Thing™.
