Do you heat up all drops?

I'm curious how many of you heat up every drop in a building. Do you install enough switches to cover all drops, even if a percentage of those drops will not be used? We've tried both ways, and while we like having to buy fewer switches, we are finding it difficult to manage the workload from drop usage changes. When we've had our onsite techs make the cabling changes from patch panel to switch, the end result is some pretty gnarly cable management in our IDFs, as they don't always have the appropriate cable lengths in the right color (to follow our established convention). Ideas on how to manage this are greatly appreciated.
