In rural parts of the northeast (particularly Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine) it's actually rather helpful to have driveways mapped. In many cases, it's difficult to tell from the main road (with "main" being a relative term) whether a traveled way is the limited-maintenance public right-of-way or a private driveway (and many are privately maintained driveways that also happen to be old roadways with associated public right-of-way, but that's a can of worms for another time).
Personally, I'm not opposed to deleting them if it looks like the original TIGER data was drawn by a blind monkey on crack, but if it's a reasonable semblance of reality (even if only for someone who is accustomed to TIGER and its foibles), having it in with reviewed:no is better than deleting it.
