I fully agree on Peter 3rd option.
After all, is it worth mapping a multi-use route as a multi-use route because the operator made it this way?

If something changes which affects the relations, current state of affairs is that the maintainers of a particular kind or set of relations keep watch and repair damage. Fact of life kind of thing.
