Ok, my original assumption was that in some later patch you'd add a
failure condition to this function, but I didn't find that. It didn't

At least I understood the previous discussion to be about internal
functions as well. Maybe it was ambiguous and we interpreted each other
wrong (I don't have the previous discussion at hand to check).
