Well then you decide what its status is. Is it an abandoned building
(building=yes), or is it a temporarily closed McDonalds (building=yes,
amenity=restaurant, temporary:opening_hours=off).

If someone says "Meet me at the abandoned McDonalds", you could find that
with the temporary tag :) That's more information than just building=yes.
