Sure, it's not necessary.  He can continue to allow commercial flagging 
to occur...

And if the OP does as you suggested, he won't.

Run commercial flagger
This is the default value used for the Auto-Commercial Flagging setting 
when a new scheduled recording is created.

He'll only disable commercial flagging for new recording rules.  Or, 
he'll have to delete and re-create all his recording rules.  Or he'll 
have to go into each recording rule he's already created and change the 
commercial flagging setting.

IMHO, setting the channel as commfree now (while he feels commercial 
flagging doesn't work well enough for him) but leaving the rules to 
allow commflagging if he ever turns it back on for his channels is a 
better approach.
