are we really going to invent tagging duplicates because OSM-Carto dropped
rendering for the established tags?

If we drop tags because they are sometimes applied in a nonconformal way
(compared to their definition), we will end up with no tags.

The carto team should not suggest to retag leisure=common to landuse=grass,
as the latter should be used only for "small patches of grass" e.g.
"alongside of roads", nor will park or farmland be appropriate in many
instances.

yes, the differences between common and village green are probably only
conceivable in jurisdictions where these literally exist.
I agree landuse=village_green can sufficiently replace leisure=common
(doesn't feel completely right in "leisure", considering these are physical
features, while the specifics of "common" seem to be of legal nature
