CRio Flash Memory

In the WPI tutorial for vision tracking there is a warning about excessive rights to the CRio flash memory in the image tracking program.

It is in regard to writing images to the CRio memory from a camera within a While Loop
Quote:
Warning: It is strongly recommended to comment out the while loop before enabling the image writes in order to preserve the cRIO flash memory. Writing the images within the while loop may result in excessive wear to the cRIO flash memory.
Is this something to be concerned about? I have a hard time believing FIRST would right their code in a dangerous way by default given that a lot of teams may be inclined to just copy and paste.
