Should we start to misuse other tags?
Should areas used to produce human produce from trees be tagged 
leisure=tree_produce???

Or should that misuse be depreciated???
If so then landuse=forest can be depreciated. Replace it all with 
natural=wood.

Then those who know and want to map a landuse, not just the existence of 
trees, where trees are used for human benefit can chose to use a landuse 
tag, say forestry, with a meaning in OSM that incorperates teh full tag 
of 'landuse=forestry'.
