'''Absolutely. It just removes the edits from the RA feed (and the Recent Changes, but you can click on "Show bots" to see bot edits in that feed). The kinds of edits the bot will be doing will be minor anyway; adding/removing categories, correcting links and names, spell checking, deletions etc. (The boring stuff, basically) However, since it can edit at a rate of about one edit per second, having the bot flag keeps it from spamming the RA with these kinds of minor edits. Also note that every process it runs is dictated by me. ;)'''
