[OSM-talk] Suez Canal - Coastline or not?

I recently noticed that the Suez Canal is tagged as a coastline. Is this
right? Wikipedia is vague, but implies that it's a fresh water body? Is
a canal like this a coastline separating two continents? There is (at
least one) bridge across it.

Would it make sense to un-coastline-ify it? And create one super
Eurasia-africa continent?

The Panama canal is not tagged as coastline.
