Yes and no. A straight line works almost as well for routing as a correctly
surveyed road, and much better than a non-existent way. So rather than a "to
do list", it's more like a first draft.

You might say that in order of priority, we would like the following
information about every road:
1) Start and end point
2) Major junctions
3) Name
4) Minor junctions
5) Exact route.
6) Surface
7) Width, lanes, speed limit...

The order is debatable though.
