Not sure if you guys actually read my comments on bug
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653935, I knew it has
performance impact, although it could be used to prevent callback to
remove the items causing g_slist_free to access invalid memory. Btw,
our wrapper version is exactly the same os original glib does,
g_slist_foreach + g_slist_free. (see BlueZ glib-helper.h)

Exactly my point, so now you can stop arguing, ok.
