If I go to the wiki page on landuse I find for landuse=forest "For areas with a 
high density of trees primarily grown for timber." This is also what most 
people will associate with an area used for timber production. In the end our 
disagreement here is on a question of scale. For you any small and even private 
usage (e.g. collecting firewood) is timber production. For me I would only call 
it timber "production" if it is the primary (usually industrial) use of an area 
which includes cutting down trees. I am simply against tagging large areas of 
land based on a technicality that is not important for most people. I would 
rather do it the other way around compared to your proposal. Remove the default 
landuse=forest and only add it for areas where timber production is the primary 
use. Since this is to some degree a question of taste the best would probably 
be to get a majority vote ...
