Widespread use might not accurately reflect overall usage. For example I've just checked the local area for changes made by Xybot using ITO Mapper and it found this one: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/26568786/history I tagged it originally as landuse=wood, and based on discussion here natural=wood would have been better as it is a small area of oak woodland that has been left and had a park built around it. While I don’t believe Xybot changes wood/forest/landuse/natural combinations any more, it decided that landuse took precedence and I now have a tiny forest in the middle of the local park (glad I checked, I'll amend it now I've found it).
