Re: [PATCH 3/7] release_delta_base_cache: reuse existing detach function

That is not too bad, I guess. I can switch it if you prefer that way.
Since there are only these two callers with two different sets of needs
(and the function is static), I just let them continue inspecting the
elements directly.

I do not think it is too hard to refactor later when need arises; it
is not like we have too many callers and this is a file-scope static
helper to begin with.
