I think any obit posting, from any year would help someone locate information. I say go for it.

Obituaries are part of Genealogy no matter what year they are collected. Posting them would not be a nuisance at all. Those who do not want them do not have to open their email if it lists Obits in the Subject line. This is just my opinion.
