That makes sense, but there's a lot of precedence to the contrary
already in the code:
find . -name \*.c | xargs grep "flags ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED" | wc
155 832 14106
(some of these are probably false positives, but still...)
Sounds like you're volunteering for a global cleanup ;-)
The problem is that the cleanup could break existing behaviour,
so I would be quite cautious about it and really look on a case by
case basis. But for new interfaces, yes we should do this,
