I'm seeking specifically that behavior you are calling flawed.

A sticky gate in general should still be present on the map.
The I-5 bridge in Washington is still visually a bridge, even though it
should not route right now.
A playground may have a broken swing, but still be a usable playground.
A broken footbridge may be an annoyance, but the route is NOT discontiguous
if you can simply step over a small stream.


So I'm seeking lifecycle tags to represent things that need some form of
repair attention, but are still a mappable thing.

What tag would work for "needs repair attention" along with a comment about
why?
