I think there's a lot of wisdom in knowing what to keep and what to discard. Used spokes for a "future build" would definitely fall into my discard range. You've only got a few millimeters of spoke length tolerance so there's no guarantee they'll work for your next wheel build. Then there's all that "heads in - heads out" stuff to keep track of.
