In most cases I'd agree with you. But I see that this while (i--) is
becoming somewhat of a pattern for error paths (grep for it), and I
think following patterns like this is more important. After a while, you
don't have to think about counting when you see it.

Besides, it's generally preferred to cleanup in the reverse order of
init, so a forward counting loop would require two variables here.
