Every time I skipped that part and the change wasn't trivial, I missed something important, so yes.

I'm a big proponent of "trial by fire" reviews. The idea is to setup a dumpster environment, deploy the change there and give it for a spin to someone who's keenly interested in seeing some progress - sometimes it's the PM, other times the sales guy - anyone who has some time in between meetings and would appreciate a little bit of variety in their work life.

Such people are amazingly talented at finding catastrophic edge cases.
