We used to tag them like that however our thinking has evolved. I have seen at least one that is uncovered in old bing imagery but had a roof in newer imagery. Also Pierre has mentioned that in Haiti and elsewhere he has seen such buildings under construction for long periods of time. They may deteriorate some but in poor countries like this they may have no other option sometimes.
