We don't store the number of chickens found in each compound.
We do store railways, the traces of which are often found a hundred years
after construction.

Somewhere in the middle is a boundary.

The mapping of survey data feels to be better served by use of OSM as a
base map, rather than attributes of the base map.
The survey data as well involves a judgement: the type that's often not
verifiable or maintainable by a latter mapper.

That "temporary" road clearly belongs in OSM.  When it's replaced, an on
the ground mapper can see that situation
and adjust.  No so for the chicken count, or the damage assessment data.
