+1 I agree with your view but this topic is full of issues. In Thailand, for example, we use "unclassified" for any highway that a) has no ref, and b), is neither a service road, track, or residential way. It is essentially a catchall for roads that do not fall into any other category. Again, using Thailand as an example, there are many small, paved roads that have few or no homes on them, sort of like a service road. I think some new category might be warranted. However, proposing such a change and then obtaining consensus is bound to be a difficult process.
