This PR drops rendering of leisure=common. The leisure=common tag has several problems. I therefore think we should not render it on the default style. Some of these problems are: * The tag defines a legal ownership concept, not a physical concept. According to the [wiki](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dcommon), a common is 'land which has an owner, but over which other people have certain rights'. I think we should render the physical appearance or purpose of features rather than their legal status. * The tag is very UK centric. Commons are a UK concept that does not really translate to other countries. * The tag is heavily misused. At least in Western Europe, almost all objects tagged with leisure=common are not actually commons. The tag is often used for random pieces of public grass, such as those alongside roads. The fact that the tag renders nicely green on the map probably has something to do with this. * Other tags are available. Almost all areas that are currently tagged with leisure=common can also be tagged with other tags that are currently being rendered, such as leisure=park, landuse=grass and/or landuse=farmland.

Great. But not all areas with several trees are park. How to tag it? It's not a grass nor farmland. I think this is a sabotage from Pokémon players to have parks everywhere…

I would be happy to answer that on tagging mailing list. Would it be OK for you to ask there?
(for multiple reasons it is preferable to not discuss "How to tag XYZ" here)

"I think this is a sabotage from Pokémon players to have parks everywhere"
I agree with that. I'm constantly getting in arguements with Pokemon Go players because they tag things like their back yards as parks. Its the same with wooded type areas as you suggest. At one point I tried to get parks gwt better defined on the wiki, but it came to nothing "because cultural differences." I thought we were following the uk definition of things, but I guess people make exceptions when they don't feel like dealing with something and mainly use the "uk tagging preference" excuse as a way to chide people for not tagging things how they like. Oh wwell.I never took it to the mailing list though. I probably should have and that's what I suggest you do. Although its doubtful it will help any as its mostly the same people there as on the wiki that don't want to define it better already.
