[OSM-newbies] Should power line access trails be mapped

[Gavin Scott]

Within a national park in Australia there are various power lines that run
through it, on account of there being a hydro electricity generating scheme
within its boundaries. The national park has its own Management Trails
which are labelled on paper maps and are used by all and sundry for access
within the park. Leading off these management trails are various access
trails that were put in by the hydro authority that lead to their power
poles. These trails are not maintained, usually dead end and are short.
Other than accessing the power poles these trails are useless for others.
I have noticed some one is devoting their efforts to mapping these "trails"
using satellite imagery.

I believe the mapping of these trails to the power poles is not correct. I
might add they often label these trails with the tag FIXME.
Is it considered opinion that these trails should be mapped?

If not what do I do with these trails labelled FIXME? Do I just delete them?

thanks
