We have enough fighting over a matter that should be as clear-cut as administrative boundaries. Adding another layer to that will only create more fighting over whether something "is part of" something else. For example, an old village that has long since been assimilated by the big city and retains its name as a city quarter might suddenly declare not being part of the "city place area", which will only confuse the hell out of everybody. And I'm not even starting to talk about the usual fights between nationalists/patriots of all kinds over what should be called how. If you can't point to a sign on the ground, don't map topoynms.
