If you never plan to go back, it is not a problem of course.
I doubt it will be the case (I plan to visit BY once a year or so, amazing country), but, just in case, I'll keep my boarding pass. I wasn't given an option to go through migrations. And also, remember in BY they even print a migration card. I had to fill it on my VERY awful handwriting. I doubt they understood what I had written...
