Exactly.

With the amount of real bugs/issues *actually* being reported out there,
why would people waste energy on senseless cleanups is beyond me.

a20.c is fine the way it is, it doesn't bother anyone, it works. So why
even touch it?

If people want to fix real issues, they can do lots of other sensible
work. One example would be: do randconfig builds and stare at the
warnings - there are a gazillion of them and I'm sure there are real
bugs hiding in there.
