Mmmm...not quite. You're driving home from work. The bridge you normally drive over has been demolished. I'd say that's pretty "physically relevant" to you right now. And tomorrow. And probably for a few weeks. Maybe months. That bridge that was demolished 6 years ago? Not so much. It's up to local mappers to decide when to remove the object altogether. So, yeah - find a better way to mark objects as demolished. But no need to deprecate the notion altogether.
