Agreed on the principle - and on the limit to simple cases (but if it's
not simple, you should draw attention to what is not being done globally,
and file a bug in Bugzilla for the rest of the fix if it's not got to
soon).
But also we want to do cleanups that reduce the number of duplicate copies
of some code - various of my changes to reduce the amount of
architecture-independent text in architecture-specific
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/<arch> headers have been oriented to that goal,
reducing the risk that some copy doesn't get updated by reducing the
number of copies.
