If the is no difference between the two then there will be no problem 
depreciating landuse=forest.

There are some who do see a distinction of land use, and want to use 
that distinction.
If some landuse=forest were to be re tagged landuse=forestry as it 
matches a definition of 'landuse' will those using landuse=forest be 
happy with that?

Will they then be happy that landuse=forest becomes depreciated as it is 
seen as the same as natural=wood?

----------------------------------------------------------
A 'managed' tree area does not necessarily match the land use definition.
What is the purpose of this land management? Is there a produce that is 
derived from the trees?
If there is no produce than it is not landuse=forestry.

A national park is 'managed' .. In Australia no produce comes out of it.
