I don't think it's necessary. sys/queue.h API is not supposed to be
portable across different operating systems. The need to pass list
head around may impede macro usefulness.
Gratuitous differences impede porting. If it's not a big deal then
maintain compatibility. We already have stupid differences in various
areas that must be papered over when code is brokered between systems.
This is local use convenience vs. easy of porting tradeoff. On one hand
API is used heavily in the kernel on the other I don't think we have lot
of kernel code being ported from OpenBSD nowadays.
That's pretty presumptuous to say, and untrue.
So that local use
convinience should win a big.
It'll be more convenient to follow what Ed is comfortable with and what
he's already done than to nit pick such a minor detail =-)
