I think even a normal TTL gate generates noise on the top of the power supply lines. It's better to filter it. So, anyway, it's better to have thoes pins visible. I've seen IC sockets coming with a 100nF capacitor soldierd to the traditional corner pins. Not to mention high frequency analog devices. You should not just filter the noise from the supply to the chip, however you should filter the generated noise coming from the chip, to the power line. I often use circuit like this...
