Sure.

I did not attempt to hunt down all offenders.
Would you regard that as a whorthwhile endeavour?
Note that would not only require considering bogus leftovers
in our code, but also considering what other systems might do.

I just thought it made sense to remove misleading statements about
our own code, but not not without warning about related portability
issues while there.

Yours,
  Ingo
