This is certainly a very bad idea, and whoever came up with that should
be politely asked to take on non-OpenStreetMap-related duties within HOT
instead of coming up with ideas that pollutes OSM with questionable data.

"leisure=common" can very well be hilly, or in the vicinity of houses,
or smaller than 30 metres; the tag should not be redefined for areas of
HOT activity to mean "a helicopter can land here".

By all means, define a tag "hot:potential_helicopter_landing_site=yes"
or whatever. That's what our tagging freedom is for...

Bye
Frederik
