Please don't be confused by the subject-line of this mailing-list thread.
The proposal was updated to use the term "forest*ry*" as it unambiguously
relates to management practices and is *not* easily confused with "a place
with trees". I believe that this addresses the language problem you refer
to. See the Talk page
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/boundary%3Dforestry(_compartment)_relations#Naming_suggestion:_.22forestry.22>
for details.
