In Rimworld 1.0, all this would deteriorate and decay in a year...
But we know that doesn't happen. Open air covered storage is commonplace at farms, industrial areas, lumberyards, etc. It's the sun and the rain that does most of the damage. As a person who harvests firewood every year and places it in open air covered storage to season the wood, I can testify that it is essential and not harmful to the wood.
We really need the old method back. It's not an exploit.
