Just for clarification: I suggested the wiki page as a starting point to 
look into past discussions around this topic.

I fully agree that this proposal is abandoned for good reason.

Regarding the idea itself I agree with Martin: I do not think something 
large scale and fuzzy like the Black Forest should be mapped in the 
database at all. If you think about this a bit longer it would totally 
be reasonable to create a giant multipolygon for an ocean or a continent 
- to me that's no good idea.
