Clearly that fixme is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon (survey
needed but impossible). And your suggested action is to delete the
actual way object ?? I wouldn't even remove the fixme.
Sorry for only offering an anecdote against your "in many cases", but
it reflects my general feeling. Deleting an unfixable fixme tag can
make sense; deleting the underlying object doesn't. The fixme tag may
be a hint that the underlying object is so bad that it needs to be
deleted, but the tag itself is no reason to delete. An interesting
version of "don't shoot the messenger" :p
