You're correct. Traps too. We used to do that as well, but it's been 10+ years and I forgot that one. Our house was heated by a fireplace. It got to ambient inside of a day or two. Every winter we'd lose a pipe here or there. Pex became the savior as it can freeze and not burst. It doesn't get a million cycles of freeze/thaw but if you forget something, chances are it won't burst.
