Not sure about "EVER"! :-)

e.g. what if you got lost when trying to map a footpath, then later find 
your way, you might want to chop off your diversion so that some later 
user doesn't try and draw a path over your track!

Likewise if I'm mapping an area and searching out footpaths, I might end 
up going 1/2 mile along a road in order to (unsuccessfully) find a 
footpath. If the road is already mapped, I might chop out this diversion 
so I get a nice aesthetically-pleasing circular track :-)
