No I do not think it was a good idea. Lets assume you're talking about the period of Ancient Rome, it was commonly not a great idea for the censors to rank and re-rank citizens into mixed classes because it produced hostility between the groups, which led to national upheavals and chaos.
I think wonderful things is about some very nice things in the world. We need to conserve these things because of global warming and climate change so if humans don't change these things will be ruined.
