I'm generally of the same thinking, which is why I've stripped all traces of external paint from my house and re-pointed in lime mortar. But the chap who cut the bricks back (who also does a lot of conservation work) suggested the bricks might get knackered from frost in the future without treatment. I guess time will tell.
