Aren't we nitpicking? I've tagged remains of Roman cities whose "physical
presence" is arguable, but nonetheless those are places of historical
interest in that a Roman building or forum was there. I agree it'd be moot
to map Troy based on the supposed position, but for well-documented POIs we
shouldn't be discussing whether a fort is still a fort. After all, most
European castles aren't actually used as castles anymore.
