Does anyone know why inode_unref is no-op for root inode?

I see the following code in inode.c

 static inode_t *
 __inode_unref (inode_t *inode)
 {
         if (!inode)
                 return NULL;

         if (__is_root_gfid(inode->gfid))
                 return inode;
 ...
}

I think its done with the intention that, root inode should *never* ever get removed from the active inodes list. (not even accidentally). So unref on root-inode is a no-op. Dont know whether there are any other reasons.
Thanks, That helps.
