Uninstalling 2982791 ; is it OK to uninstall it *after* 2984615 has been installed?

Question

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS14-045 - Important 
"Microsoft strongly recommends that customers who have not uninstalled the 2982791 update do so prior to applying the 2993651 update."
Most of our PCs are set to automatically install updates.  If the 2993651 update has been automatically installed *before* the 2982791 update was removed, should we still remove the 2982791 update?

Hi
The update 2993621 replaces the expired 2982791 update. They also say:
Customers do not need to uninstall the expired 2982791 update before applying the 2993651 update; however, Microsoft strongly recommends it. Customers who do not remove the expired update will retain a listing for 2982791 under installed updates in Control
Panel.
Its your choice.
