Unfortunately, other people are nitpicking. You see trees, so you know
it is landcover=trees.
But you _can't_ tag that landuse=forest, because you don't know if it
is actually used for wood production.
And you _can't_ tag for natural=wood, because if someone uses it for
wood production, that's incorrect.
So yes, we need landcover=trees, to shut the nitpickers up.
(And yes, it is also good idea. So do it.)
