Agreed.

Everything we add to the map has a maintenance burden. It needs to be  
periodically revisited (through the magic of collaborative yadda  
yadda) and updated when things change. Expecting this to happen for  
internal floor plans is way beyond the capacity of our community at  
any foreseeable point.

In a few years - well, maybe. But right now there's a whole world  
still to be mapped without trying to reinvent the project every five  
minutes.
