landcover is disliked by big part of this mailing list and iD devs and JOSM devs.

Please do not make like everybody supports and wants
it and solely OSM Carto blocks it.

There were multiple attempts that tried to use OSM Carto map style as a battering
ram to force this tagging style and I am getting irritated by this.

This kind of thing makes harder to decide whatever other criticism is warranted or not.

If you think that there is broad support for landcover proposal - feel free to 
start vote on the landcover proposal.

I am tempted to do this to get it finally rejected, but I feel that it would be not nice.

Or people dislike this specific idea.
