No it doesn't, it says they're 'optional, disputed, and redundant'. The 
term 'redundant' has multiple meanings, but I take it to mean 'not 
strictly necessary', 'not adding additional information', or some such.

I'd say leave them unless they cause a real problem. Out of respect to 
the mappers who have gone before you, if nothing else.
