I can definitely agree with this. landcover=trees carries no weird meanings
unlike natural=wood (natural? man-made?). I can accept using landuse=forest
for land that is used for forestry-related uses (like production of timber
or a national forest), but for everything that is covered by a dense group
of trees, landcover=trees seems the way to go.
