Changing the grid setup, but what about the list view?

Question

I want to use a modified version of the Mobile Shoppe theme for one of our magento stores. I edited the app/design/frontend/default/mobileshoppe2/template/catalog/product/list.phtml file. In this file most code for displaying products is used twice, once for the grid, once for the list view. Whether grid or list is used is based on the following code:

<?php if($this->getMode()!='grid'): ?>

We use grid view for all sites. Can I ignore the list view entirely, leave the code as it is? I can't think of a situation where it is used, but maybe it is used somewhere that I don't know of.
