Don't know who's in charge, but we ran across a couple of two person cons crews that were walking trails with GPS units doing exactly what you were doing as well.  We carried a GPS unit but didn't bring it out and tempt the crew to depend upon anything but their map and compass skills.

 I know that the scouts are in the process of updating their maps and I in fact saw some GPS data being taken at Fish Camp.  My Garmin GPS actually leaves a "bread crumb" trail the whole time it is on.  So I have a pretty accurate record of the trek we took (13FM) and the "exact" trail locations, again which differs greatly from the topo maps.  In the right hands, this could be useful information, I think.
