Marooned.

The problem? Fuel.

Flap = Fuel.

There are no provisions in a fuel policy for extended vectoring with flaps extended.
Often there is no guidance as to how long the vectoring will go for, it can be away from the airport etc etc.

Start throwing flap, start using fuel exponentially.

Did I mention fuel...
