I notice that this has been silently ignored on the import that has been 
started, instead opting to keep a "fdep:landuse_code" tag that was never 
mentioned in any of the documentation/discussion before (and that I 
would have objected to had it been presented).

My caution against going too fast and omitting the necessary care has 
also been blown into the wind, instead opting to simply delete existing 
prior landuse data. The imported data has not been visually checked 
against what is there, leading to lots of situations like this

(at https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/30.55171/-87.29368 but might 
not be visible there any more after revert) where imported data shoddily 
overlaps with existing data.

This import is poorly planned, insufficiently discussed, and hastily 
executed without community involvement and without the necessary 
caution. It deserves to be reverted in full.

Bye
Frederik
