If you want to be a good steward of the population reports, you need to mail the flips to the TPG and someone's attention. (Call first, or get an email dialogue for someone to take ownership of it, and then once you mail it, wait a few weeks, and follow up)
I have returned about 40-50 flips to remove them from pop reports over the years and it is pretty easy, but requires a little follow up.
Also, I scan the flips, so I have record of them in case they say they didn't get them (This has happened once). Obviously, I would do this on more scarce issues that are important to me, but wouldn't bother on more populated issues. (That's just me)
As time ticks on though, the pop reports are going to become more inaccurate and perhaps redundant. The one useful piece to it though is looking at the big picture on population as that is a pretty good tool to see scarcity levels, etc.
