I think this depends on whether someone can live with the messy look,

messy look, I guess he will be better off mulching the leaves to add
the organic matters back to the lawn.

I think it has to do with the *amount* of the leaves.

A lot of people think that a single layer is a fall's worth and they are
unfamiliar with leaves several inches deep in late november.
(I wish I was unfamiliar with that)
