I support this idea - I would call them levels as some areas might work
completely different. I would call the different completenesses like

roadcomplete
cyclewaycomplete
roadnamecomplete
landusecomplete

etc ... I have no idea about the granularity but in the end it comes
down to a map never containing ALL interesting data but it would be
interesting to note which subset it contains or is complete.

The completeness is more or less a feeling of the primary mapper of 
this specific area so it should be taken with a grain of salt i guess.

But this information would be interesting for a map bug tracker which
could assign higher prioritys to bugs in "complete" areas or even refuse
to accept bugs in incomplete areas.
