My opinion is that you should do this modification if you plan to test
with a child, or plan to risk applying force to the back panel, e.g.
carrying the laptop unprotected in a personal luggage bag.

Try not to remove it unless you must.  On the XO-1.75 the heat budget is
much cooler, so it is not as critical, but hey, you're in a hot country.
The XO-1.75 heat spreader should have an additional mounting point on a
limb, so make sure you screw that one down too.

I don't yet know if you need to remove the heat spreader to place the
insulating tape.
