        If someone wants to leave gixme, the fixme key or OSM note is
        the best solution.


    Best solution for what?


For marking clearing to be mapped. Obviously, mapping it properly

would be better. But fixme/notes at least in theory can be processed by other mappers,

in case of clearings - also by armchair mappers.


But then the feature is harder to find in the data base.
Note that clearings have already been marked as landuse=clearing.


I have no idea why encouraging landcover=clearing would be preferable.


In preference to landuse=clearing.

            and stop land covers becoming regarded as a legitimate use
            of the key landuse.


        too late for that, see landuse=forest


    So landuse=sand
    landuse=dirt
    landuse=rock
    landuse=scrub
    landuse=valley
    landuse=peak
    landuse=cliff
    landuse=tunnel

    will all be fine to use?
    I don't think so.

No, because there are already tags for tagging that.

Despite that people are using landuse=sand, landuse=scrub... and it is probably because of the use of landuse=forest and landuse=grass that suggests this misuse.

And there are no tags for clearing.. so they use landuse=clearing.

And round the circle we go again.
