Honestly I never did that. So I can't be sure... Anyway I guess it's
safe NOT to do so... think about it,  you have the 'current' chip
programmed with MCLR disabled - it means the chip will start runnning
once it got enough level of Vdd...  or MCLR is enabled but for some
reason you have made the header to output HIGH (or you have pulled
MCLR of the 'current' 675 to Vdd, so it will start running once the
Vdd level is enough) on the same pin...  Don't you think that is
risky?
