It doesn't matter how big it is, if it's in some remote board farm -- or 
if I'm considering adding a disk, and I want to see if the board is 
configured to use those pins for SATA or for something else (and thus 
whether I need to dig out the board manual and look at DIP switch 
configuration).

What harm does the check do?
