+1, for the same reasons:

a) flight paths (apart from the runways) have a very wide corridor and 
cannot be used for land-based routing
b) they confuse mappers mapping the land area over which they are 
passing (happened to me with murlwe's davao-manila flight path [1] which 
crossed they leyte area where i'm mapping).

luckily, murlwe removed all his flight paths [2]. i would welcome the 
same happening with the remaining flight paths (and gps traces).
