Yes, I think some awareness of traffic is better than none whatsoever. There isn't really a good way to convey this to some controllers, although by now they should be familiar with ADS-B and maybe understand what TIS is (maybe not though). In the last few years they weren't though and you could have displays that showed the call-signs and airlines coming into terminal areas due to the new combined tcas/ads-b transceivers installed in A-320s and others. It's kind of trying to get past the interim where more aircraft are being equipped with traffic displays, yet they aren't to be used for separation. But, something is better than nothing here IMO.
