They've been happily using member[] but with the patch they suddenly start wasting a cell. But we should do this sooner rather than later to find out any breakage, and give people on platforms with a cc that supports flexible array members and care about wasted memory enough time to send patches to support their compiler in the way similar to how gcc is supported. But I cannot use your message with whitespace-broken patch (note "format=flawed") and insufficient commit log message, which means I have to do this myself.
