Good point. OK, I will make a patch to remove the function and nothing
else for branch.

True. And out of those who do, how many look at the warnings? :)

You are right -- the potential loss (breaking the code) could be
critical and could affect everyone and the potential "gain" (of
getting rid of warnings) would be insignificant and would affect only
a few.

I'll send the one patch for branch and patch for trunk later.

Thanks,

Scott
