I don't think we should optimize the database for bugs in people's processing pipelines. I have not encountered good reasons to be more than a month or so out of date (on Garmin with OSM data). Also, I think showing a non-operating restaurant on a map is at least 20x as bad as not showing an open one. The other thing missing from this discussion is how all these temporary tags get used. I realize in osm creating tags and using them have nothing to do with each other, but in the extreme that's a bug. We're building a model of the world, and we need to pay attention to how the data is consumed. In particular, lower-fidelity consumers should not be mislead and as an extreme example: amenity=restaurant closed_status=really-long-time-probably-not-reopening is not likely to lead to the right results on a GPSr POI search.
