That's great, but next time try to do a little bit more, just fixing a
single warning like that isn't all that useful overall, right?

I don't remember, I think someone else already did the same work as you,
but as I deal with hundreds of patches a day, I can't recall. Resync on
my staging-testing branch of staging.git and rebase your patch and do
more cleanup than just one tiny one and then resend.

thanks,
