No clue about the dedi-servers, maybe our mapmakers can answer that one...
But as someone developing code for a living (hmm... ok, ... not right now ... but I could if in need ...): Making sure, that Your program (fill in: map) code is doing exactly what You want and always operates in a defined (by You) state, is just good style in code development.
So if it is no big deal, I would always do it. Just to make sure, that You are the only one who fiddles with these variables and that they all have the state, that You want them to. If You use variables in any code, make sure You always know their value (if possible) and their state, throughout Your code.
