Well we certainly didn't. The only thing I will say is that the TS licensing server was upgraded to 2008 R2 not long after we started building our Xen6 farm (well actually it was the Tech Preview version), but nothing was done with the CALs as far as I am aware. We are running them in per-user mode, FWIW.
