When should I store the `Subscription` instances and invoke `unsubscribe()` during the `ngOnDestroy` life cycle and when can I simply ignore them?

Saving all subscriptions introduces a lot of mess into component code.

[HTTP Client Guide](https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/server-communication.html) ignore subscriptions like this:
```js
getHeroes() {
  this.heroService.getHeroes()
                  .subscribe(
                     heroes =&gt; this.heroes = heroes,
                     error =&gt;  this.errorMessage = &lt;any&gt;error);
}
```
In the same time [Route &amp; Navigation Guide](https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/router.html) says that:

&gt; Eventually, we&#39;ll navigate somewhere else. The router will remove this component from the DOM and destroy it. We need to clean up after ourselves before that happens. Specifically, we must unsubscribe before Angular destroys the component. Failure to do so could create a memory leak.
&gt;
&gt; We unsubscribe from our `Observable` in the `ngOnDestroy` method.

```js
private sub: any;

ngOnInit() {
  this.sub = this.route.params.subscribe(params =&gt; {
     let id = +params[&#39;id&#39;]; // (+) converts string &#39;id&#39; to a number
     this.service.getHero(id).then(hero =&gt; this.hero = hero);
   });
}

ngOnDestroy() {
  this.sub.unsubscribe();
}
```
