It's a matter of convenience. We remove unchecked exception so that we
don't have to take them into consideration (see JLS2.0 11.2.1 and
11.2.2)
If we have to take them into consideration, we can either keep the
list intact and add the tests where relevant to skip unchecked
exception or keep the original list intact somewhere and use it when
required.
What would be the most convenient for what you're working on?
