Yeah, I think that is Jonathan's favourite approach as well, and I do not have problem with that. This transition spatch is unlike the "avoid strbuf_addf when we do not have to use it" one, in that there is a definite cut-over where the old way becomes an invalid C code and compilers can help us spot unconverted places (as opposed to a valid but unwanted way that can come into the codebase after one round of code cleaning is done, which is a useful thing to catch with the "make coccicheck" target).
