Should I remove the plastic sleeve on my water heater gas valve thermostat?

Should I remove the plastic sleeve on my water heater gas valve thermostat? Its a tight, clear plastic surrounding the full length of the copper sensor / rod. The instructions don't mention a thing. Nice!

    No that stays on there and will protect the copper element from corrosion.

    Put it in just like it is.
