Nope.
If you have the no-ads patch installed, just keep it there. You won't see no ads on the home screen. And
if you have it installed and also delete /var/local/adunits, you won't see any ads at all.

PS: I did think about getting rid of the config file (for instance loading all the applicable files in the directory). That would remove one minor nuisance (explicitly adding a file to CONFIG.TXT), but also introduce many potential problems: the configuration file can now provide in-place documentation, it can be used to easily enable/disable patches, and (not currently used yet) it can guarantee a particular order of loading patches. I decided against getting rid of it, because the latter 3 arguments outweigh the first one, IMO.
