As a heavy land-cover mapper I agree that multipolygons are vastly easier
to improve over time than to try to disconnect overlapping ways.

That said, unless I'm misreading the wiki the import being discussed
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/West_Virginia_State_Forests_Import>
is about State Forest (protected area) boundaries not land-cover/land-use.
I'd rather not have folks doing land-cover/land-use imports from poor data,
but I'm of the opinion that protected area boundaries are often a very good
candidate for [careful] importing if the data are of good quality.
