I'm inclined to agree with your philosophy. Makes me wonder whether we
should write a Coccinelle rule to catch this. But a quick-and-dirty grep
in our codebase shows that such a rule would cause quite a lot of churn:
$ git grep BUG\( | wc -l
677
$ git grep assert\( | wc -l
549
Probably not worth it.
Yeah, we can stick to our usual "do not add new instances, fix them
while touching near-by code" pattern for this one, I would say.
Thanks.
