@InsertUser@en.osm.town That would be a possibility if it was an experienced mapper. And I think having multipolygons for areas such as landuses, is a kinda controversial topic in OSM.
At least I found out now that in iD I can easily detach all nodes of a feature with D (yes, I forgot this feature existed there), without having to play multiple times with each node just because iD autoselects the feature I don't want to modify after the detachment. This will save me a bit of time, but it will still be a pain in the butt.

@jimkats@infosec.exchange @InsertUser@en.osm.town In #JOSM, you would just select the whole polygon and press "g" to detach it (thus effectively solving the issue as IIUC, as after that single keypress it would be just as if the original mapper had never attached that landuse to existing ways). Of course you'd still need to correct the geometry of the landuses if it is incorrect, but you'd have anyway even if user did not attach it to existing OSM elements)
