[Tagging] British term for municipal greenery?

[Marc Gemis]

Just look at the issues related to landcover for carto-css on github,
e.g. https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/2548

* not rendered elsewhere
* not enough instances
* what's the difference with landuse

are some of the arguments I've seen.
