But your audit is incomplete, a grep of 3.1.3 for dst_get_neighbour() and

All these are already covered, or else bad things would already
happened.
No, only warnings (splats as you call them) would be produced. The fact
is you added side-effects to dst_get_neighbour(), and I would expect all
its invocations to be affected.
