then someone who sees it working can switch it back to active. Admittedly,
support for lifecycle prefixes is not great in every app, so you may find
duplicates when the thing goes back working, because the mapper didn't
notice there was already a "deactivated" item mapped.

same here, in a drought most drinking fountains were turned off, and as a
result, some have been entirely deleted (including rich tags and link to a
specific picture)
