I agree – plenty of other services doing this much better – suspect it would only clutter up OSM and be neglected pretty quickly arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?url=https://services9.arcgis.com/ZFlIzBMHgtgl0EYj/ArcGIS/rest/services/NSW_Bushfire_Burnt_Areas_2019_and_2020/FeatureServer/0=sd

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. Nathanael Coyne On Tue, 28 Jan 2020

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse=brownfield is absolutely not correct, have you reverted? Which changesets? They are still wood even if burnt so natural=wood should apply. I have thought about if we should map burnt areas, it's tricky because while it is surveyable, it changes
