"/ad hoc/" (for this)  signifies a solution designed for a specific problem or 
task, non-generalizable, and not intended to be able to be adapted to other 
purposes.

"/extempore/" (or more correctly "/ex tempore/", "from the time") means 
something done without preparation or forethought, as if prompted by the spirit 
of the moment.

"/impromptu/", improvisation, has more or less the same meaning as "/ex 
tempore/".

I don't see how how the above could be seen as substitutes for "in use" or any 
other OSM tags status...
