--- Comment #2 from Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini at oracle dot com> 2013-02-22 23:23:16 UTC --- Normally we don't keep around functions like this. The issue is better resolved by simply removing it, for 4.8.0 and a corresponding patch is preapproved. In the future please don't open this kind of issue about internal details, just send a patch to the mailing list, thanks in advance.
