Hold on, you may have misunderstood.
The only fixme tags proposed for deletion are the mechanically added ones

Any onesey twosey value would of course stay.
Any value like "continue" that's has high counts, but edited by hundreds of
unique users, would stay.

The goal is to cut the volume down to something human mappers can manage.
