For v43.04+, does a xsteel mail shirtx still offer protection?

Any science or discussion for this?  I tried searching "armor damage" but not much info.

I have not seen any reports of armor providing noticeably less protection when worn.

I have seen many threads that mention using and wearing worn armor effectively until it breaks. Many did not notice that it was worn at all until it DID break.

While hardly conclusive, I'll say it probably doesn't matter until it breaks mid-fight and a kobold kills you with a spoon or something.

I haven't noticed any significant degrading of protection on any of my dwarves, but to be safe I have been melting and reforging anything at the x<item>x level. It simply wouldn't do to have any of my warriors killed because their armor fell apart in the middle of a battle. No, they must all die to the drawbridge scourge!

There is no more noble death than contraption malfunction.
