This is actually a challenging question to answer. On one hand, the "old-school" genealogist in me says that you'd only want to put proven information in your public profile. However, the other side of me says that this is a research project and that part of our research is making hypotheses and theories about our ancestry....what it is we are trying to prove....and as such, you'd want to include those theories in your information as well. And, my recommendation is to include the descendants of your earliest know ancestor, making sure that you either privatize living individuals or remove them from your GEDCOM. The system is quite robust and can handle a significant number (10,000+) of individuals in any given tree.
