I have placed what I believe is a summary of this discussion on the OSM
wiki for lifecycle
It reads
"The following tags function is to reduce the possibility of a mapper
remapping the feature from existing satellite imagery that shows the old
state of the feature. Once the OSM available satellite imagery does not
show the feature the feature can safely be removed from OSM. Renders
cannot rely on OSM preserving physically vanished history."
There after follow the tags 'demolished', 'removed', 'destroyed' and
'razed'.

If there are any further thoughts or even corrections to my text above
then please post them here.
My own thoughts?
I have not placed any warning about mechanical edits to seek these out
as enough warning is evident in the requirement for it to be not shown
in the OSM satellite imagery, which would discourage me so I think it
will work with others.
