[HOT] Central African Republic, use of landcover=bare_earth

Hi,

I understand the problem - many tracks and paths going together to a space
of bare land where they are no more recognizable.
I have never used the tag landcover=bare_earth and couldnt find anything on
the Taginfo either.
I will be happy if anyone could check and share his view. The result on OSM
is here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=6.539969&lon=21.977844&zoom=18&layers=M

Personally I think it is too much work, it will never be too precise (the
level of greenness changess throughout the year) and it is not a priority
in this first phase of TM mapping

Sincerely
Filip from Eurosha CAR team
