My reasoning is more that we know today that the constructs will not be a problem in the future as they are allowed by the future spec.

In stubs or callbacks which don't need all arguments. The prototypes themselves also fairly often don't name the parameters. So having the stubs right next to them need the names feels inconsistent.
