Nice catches. I've been seeing them all the time too in my casual
reading. I wouldn't have raised the issue otherwise.
Though I don't thing "quite problematic" is the right phrase, I do
agree that in such cases we would need the flag to have a fallback
mode. We've been discussing user messaging as a solution, where the
switch tag whould include at least one editor's name attached,
{{dateswitch|is going to fly|flew|DATE|~~~}}, and the bot would
message the editor on the date to check up on it.
