There seems to be more NO's than agreements with you in this case.  BUT
that does not matter.  We've operated under the "don't change things w/o
a good reason" to (1) settle cases of opinion like this.  And (2) because
changing things too much throws away over a decade of tested proven code.
This is something that should not be taken lightly.  We hold our age up
all the time as one of our advantages over Linux.  However these
WARNS/lint runs are making our code as volatile as the GNU stuff we snub.
