Yes. The advantage of this is that it will eventually allows to enable 
-Wimplicit-fallthrough, hence, enabling the compiler to trigger a 
warning, which will force us to double check if we are actually missing 
a break before committing the code.

The change in the code has nothing to do with the Coverity tool. The 
tool is only reporting the issue, which, in this case, is a false positive.

Oh yeah, there are around 1000 similar places in the whole codebase. 
There is an ongoing effort to review each case. Months ago, it used to 
be around 1500 of these cases.
