It's a rather common pattern, but I think it's an anti-pattern
nevertheless. See the discussion that Shobhit Kumar, Paul Gortmaker, and
I had starting in https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/20/63 .

Please let me know if you're unconvinced by the arguments brought
forward by both Pauls in that discussion.

Thanks,
