I continually read this on TD.

OK you warm water people - when you dive really cold water you wear more 
undergarments than in 20 C water. Therefore the suit holds more gas than in 
warm water. Also, you want to keep a fair amount of gas in the suit to stay 
warm. Therefore "as little as possible" to prevent squeeze definitely is less 
than to keep warm.

Please keep this in mind.
