It can also indicate a tagging error (as in "adding this fixme was
unintentional"). In cases where it isn't it still falls IMHO under the
usefulness threshold. There's probably an object right beside it that
has a bigger issue but isn't tagged with fixme.

I don't particularly care about mass-deleting fixemes to begin with,
but if I happen to be editing an object tagged fixme=yes I'll
certainly remove the tag.
