Impact on changing an enabled validated constraint to enable novalidate ?

Hello,

We would like to change constraints that are enabled and validated to "ENABLE NOVALIDATE" state.

I think that there is no problem doing that : any new line or update will be checked thanks to the "ENABLE" state. I feel that once validated there is no point in keeping the constraint in "VALIDATE" state. "ENABLE NOVALIDATE" is sufficient. VALIDATE seems only useful when we create a constraint on existing data.

Am i right ?
Is there a (hidden) danger changing the constraint to NOVALIDATE ?

Thanks in advance
