You should probably check with some non-HOT resources on this question.
There are probably groups with an explicit forest management focus. I
get responses on my user diary. You could ask the question there.
The data geek in me says that there has got to be people interested in
this data. If you mark it, it may not get used. If you do not mark it,
the opportunity for it to be used is gone.
Looking at the map features page on the wiki, there is:
man_made = clearcut
Pretty close. There could be an analogous feature, yes?
man_made = slash_and_burn
Seems reasonable to me.
