Do LabVIEW 2013 Critical Updates need installed

The NI Update Service displays a red Critical Update for NI-RIO Patch for LabVIEW RT Targets. Should this be installed for all FRC LabVIEW users?

If the answer is yes, will there be an FRC software update to do this? 

Thanks

It's not necessary to install that patch. It only affects our Linux RT targets (which for this year at least the FRC cRIO is not)

Per http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/3120/m/11825/l/159663-installing-labview-for-frc-2014

On occasion you may see alerts from the NI Update Service about patches to LabVIEW. The majority of these updates are patches to functionality of LabVIEW not typically used in FRC (even those marked as critical or urgent). You are welcome to click the links for the patch notes and choose to install some or all of these patches, however FRC will communicate any recommended updates through our usual channels (Frank's Blog, Team Updates or E-mail Blasts).
