Well, the way I understand it, a travel bug in kind of a cache of it's own
that just happens to be inside of another cache.  If you haven't "done"
the cache bug before, I don't see why you shouldn't do liberate it from
it's holding place if there is some reason that you want that particular
bug.
Now if you've had the bug before it might be nice to leave it for someone
that hasn't carted that particular bug around yet.

They are kinda their own thing, so I would guess that it's a play it by
ear type of thing.

(We don't have stats on them YET :)
