Recommended by *who*?!? Who dictated that this is the best way to go? And in the past we've always allowed for local variations of style; it's never been a strict style nazism. Linus has always given maintainers latitude and has frowned on patch churn for churn's sake. For goodness sake we still have get_fs() and set_fs() in the kernel code even though we haven't used the actual fs segment register in over a decade. And we're arguing over "there must be only one true logging interface?!?".
