A summary so far.
There seem to be a need for a tag for areas of solid rock, bedrock,
with visible rock surface. bare_rock could be used.
It is then obvious that there also is a need for areas covered by loose rocks.
The naming of the popular natural=scree suggest a particulate definition of
a slope with rubble of different sizes. More distinct tags needed or a general
tag.
There have been a vivid discussion, one idea is to use natural=* for special
named features, like scree, but use a land_cover=* for general tagging of the
nature of an area.
