i don't think it's wasting time. if it improves the map, it's useful.
the question the person asked is whether or not it is a good idea to
do them yet, from a technical perspective vis-a-vis the redaction
process.

also, this is a (mostly unspoken) principle which free/open projects work upon:
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
(Louis Blanc, 1839)

so, if OP finds it useful and there are no technical reasons why not
to, i say go for it if that's what you want.
