[talk-au] tagging burnt areas

[Nathanael Coyne]

It'd be like trying to tag plots in landuse=forest as felled or mature.
While it'd be interesting it would quickly become unreliable and reduce the
quality of data.

So while I would love to have burnt areas mapped in OSM I just think it's
not worth trying.
