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.
