I've created two other projects as per your suggestion as blocking tiles
for something that is so small in terms of the whole picture doesn't make
sense.

For building outlines:
http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/project/22

For addresses and residential polygons:
http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/project/23

For validation(QA):
http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/project/24
