Definitely. Customization would also be important, since I imagine that users 
would like to avoid storing a bunch of data they're not going to use in their 
project. (Depends on how things are implemented, though.) If your project only 
dealt with a single city, it might make things easier to set up if you knew the 
storage or computation requirements were less onerous than dealing with the 
entire world.
