[OSM-talk-be] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Upcoming removal of landuse=farm in the standard style

[Lionel Giard]

In Wallonia, we are currently working at redoing most of the old stuff and
correcting errors, and landuse=farm is part of them. As we don't have good
landuse coverage, it is probably better to just not render these old "farm"
polygon (most of them overlap other zones or are badly traced). And we will
change it progressively.
