Same here. A global outline that indicates where there is some material
is useful. Actually my preferred board house wants them drawn with a 1µ
line width, which always makes DRC complain. So one of my feature request 
would be to not run DRC on outline layers, or have per layer DRC rule,
which is a good idea anyway (rules may depend on copper thickness which
can be different on different layers).
