Admin_level=9 in Norway

Hello, and apologies for the post in English.

I operate an app which is a data consumer of administrative boundaries. While processing Norway boundaries, I discovered that there are some admin_level=9 boundaries with tagging that indicates that the boundary is no longer valid. For example, Rennesøy and Finnøy.

Other than the note tag, there is no obvious way for a machine to know that these are no longer valid boundaries. I only want to consume boundaries that still exist, not old ones :slight_smile: How should I interpret these objects? Could they be re-tagged as something else, like boundary=historic perhaps?

Thank you!
