I for one would certainly welcome that. I have no concerns about "armchair mapping" at all. We have good aerial imagery in the major cities, and in plenty of places in between. In many cases I've worked on, major roads have sections (eg, one lane of a two lane freeway) that will disappear, and sections that will remain. So it would be perfectly legitimate to delete the former, and use information from the latter (names, route numbers etc) to recreate them, without needing any local knowledge.
