I don't understand why this was done. Not all of these stores are closed 
permanently. Unless you plan to do the reverse on Saturday for the ones 
remaining open , we'll be left with shop=vacant where the shop is actually open 
. If some of these are in areas without regular contributors, they could remain 
"vacant" for a long time. shop=vacant also doesn't render on the standard map, 
so it would be easy for these incorrectly- "vacant" locations to go unnoticed, 
whereas a visible Future Shop would be more likely to be noticed and then get 
fixed. 

The most I would have done would be to add a note or fixme that the name would 
be changing as of April 4. If you plan to do the same thing for the Target 
locations, please let us know in advance.

I have already changed every Future 
Shop which is in OSM to shop=vacant. See
