i dont worry about it the least, i only replied to this sentence of
yours:

which combines into this statement of yours: "I audited 1600 something
lock points in the kernel to convert the usage of C99 style initializers
something more regular, only to find out that there wasn't much left to
convert over?", correct? Which begs the question: why did you mention
this then at all? I usually reply to points made by others in the
assumption that there's some meaning behind them ;-)
