'Safely Remove Hardware'??

I've never used the 'Safely Remove Hardware' tool in Windows XP before unplugging a USB stick. But I note that people are recommended to do so.

Is there really any need to use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' tool when unplugging USB sticks? I know it only takes about 10 sec to complete, but is it just overkill?
