Nuking props.fb_blank - that a fine goal - so keep focus there.
We can then later revisit the other clean-up possibilities.

Since you do this tree-wide do not do the mistake and try to cover too
much at the same time, because then you never finish.
So forget my comment for now and keep up the good work on removing
props.fb_blank.
