Agreed.

Yes. The conversion might possibly introduce a bug. Or someone might
want to get hold of the latest version of the function prior to its
conversion to C90. Or, there could be any number of reasons.
Including the function names in the ChangeLog entry when doing these
conversions is tedious but it is not that hard to do so I think that
it is worthwhile.
Cheers
Nick
