When they matter to the integrity and they are likely to be full of internal cracks and holes you do. What concerns me more is that we now have lots of old driver code in the kernel that nobody uses, that nobody cares about in reality but which has been turd polished to the point that at casual glance it looks maintained and useful but probably hasn't been tested in years.
