If your pads have a lot of meat on them, leave them be. Sometimes I get the rotor and pad servicing timeframes offset enough to not have to perform both simultaneously.

However, if you are replacing severely warped rotors or ones with an uneven surface pattern, it has probably translated the same wear patterns on the pads. I would replace under those conditions.

Seems like a waste to NOT do pads considering the effort required to remove the calipers and rotors.
