 '''Landuse=farm vs landuse=farmland in Potatch2'''

 Total confusion here.

     Potlatch2 offers as 1st choice (first icon) ''landuse=farm'' and
 ''landuse=farmland'' as 3rd choice
     The wiki redirects ''landuse=farmland'' to ''landuse=farm'' and gives
 no further explanation on ''landuse=farmland'', picture only mentions
 ''landuse=farm''

 If concepts are the same, both should be maintained for backward
 compatibility. However, Potlatch2 should only offer the less ambiguous but
 commmonly accepted one, i.e. farmland, and DROP farm.

 Not to mention, that for French speaking people, the farmyard is a ferme,
 a false friend of farm.

 PS: sorry for having first posted on the help site.
