Disable Adobe Reader javascript?

Anyone ever heard of problems after disabling javacript
in Adobe Reader or know of it commonly being used?
We're considering pushing it as policy to managed
workstations due to the frequency of security defects
discovered and exploited in Adobe Reader. Two zero
days since the beginning of the year.

I've had it disabled for over a year and I've never
had a known problem. Or maybe I just missed out seeing
the dancing bears without knowing it.
