I think we need both. We need a method of communicating to OSMers that they
can, for the time being, ignore an area and a separate ability for viewers
of the map to "notify" errors and omissions to OSMers exactly as you
describe, the latter perhaps being limited to areas that have been marked by
the former as "complete".
