Response to Is a stop bath necessary for film developing?

It is sometimes recommended not to have a stop bath, especially for staining developers. The question, is how many changes of water are necessary. If using only one change of water, in addition to killing your fix quickly, does that have any negative consequences? I have gone directly from PMK to a water bath to the fix, and so far there have been no problems, just a few times a little pinkish negatives which I attribute to insufficient fixing.
