Cattleya (Laelia) crispa sheath question

...this plant has not done anything since winter. No new growths, no new roots, nothing for over 6 months. And yesterday, I noticed the sheaths starting to fatten...

The sheaths of C. cripsa are extremely thick and tough (thicker than a Cattleya leaf...). I saw that some people cut the Laelia sheaths to help buds emerge and prevent deformation. Is this necessary?
