I do not think there is anything to gain from the counties that are listed to not be improved. My county (orange county fl.) is one that was NOT improved yet, and in QGIS it looks to be unmodified from the original tiger import. There are not any new tags in the data that would add anything

If by not disturbing existing edits you include the overlaying of other data on top of existing ones, then I completely agree. Also there are countless non-existant roads crossing the interstates. These have had to be deleted and I agree, must never come back. And yes I agree that any altered
