The better justification is: ida_alloc_max() makes it clear that the second argument is inclusive, and the alloc/free terminology is more idiomatic and symmetric then get/remove. Otherwise, I would not apply the patch is the only justfication was deprecation and verbosity. I'll fixup the changelog.
