[Elecraft] Clip RP and IC leads?

In all the instructions I've come across on the E'craft gear you do NOT clip
relay leads. IC leads and just about everything else is okay. The problem
with relay pins is that it seems to cause stresses that shorten the life of
the relay.

Should I be clipping the leads to the ICs, RPs, relays, etc after I install
them?
