landuse=forest is commonly accepted mapping
removing it on encountering just because it is 
present (and replacing it with say landcover=trees)
it is not accepted and would not be considered as a good idea
in general
large scale edits doing this would be reverted

using names for descriptions is not a commonly accepted mapping
removing it on encountering is accepted and encouraged
large scale edits doing this are a welcome cleanup
