It's a balance, as we also should not make APIs out of everything. As I said,
purely my opinion, but I think the is_last/is_first have jumped the shark.

I don't have a strong opinion either way.

What I think we should do though, is to either have both (i.e accept this 
patchset) or have neither of them (i.e. drop list_is_last()).

Otherwise people are likely to be confused by such an asymetric API and 
will keep posting patches for it over and over again.
