It's a good idea in any case. There are not particularly hard books that have got stuck in post-proofing at DP, or elsewhere, that there's no reason to redo the work that's already been done on them.
Except that many of those "stuck" books are waiting on missing pages/images, etc.
Any reason not to post them with a comment that these pages are missing?
Readers would thus be encouraged to help find the missing pages.
It's the Distributed Proofreader's policy not to post to PG when there are missing pages. They have a forum listing projects that are missing pages so that DP volunteers can see out the missing pages. Personally, I would not buy books from a publisher with a reputation for knowingly publishing books with pages missing, nor would I want to download from PG if it had a reputation for knowingly publishing etexts that are missing pages.
