What are the pros and cons of painting on canvas, and then stretching it later, a la Richard Schmid?

Sometimes, I tape a piece of canvas to a hard board, paint something, and put it aside to decide later what I'm going to do with it . . . stretch or mount.

Anyone have any, or a lot of experience with this?
