Default Missing knockouts no big deal right?

While inspecting this house yesterday, everything was looking pretty good for an 80yr old house until I got to the sevice panel and sub panel above it. The sevice panel had dead bees falling out of it when I removed the dead front and the sub had two mice that were enlightened. now I know why its important not to have any open knockouts in the box.
