Fine, then.  Just how much of a warning is needed in this particular case?
Normally I'm the last one to support Adrian's exportectomy binges, but in
case of sys_open() it's _way_ overdue.  There had been warnings for quite
a while; moreover, fixing the breakage in any case that is not already
badly broken is going to take a few minutes.  People who had not found
spare ten minutes during the last few years have my sincere condolences,
but they bloody can do that when it hits the fan and I see no reason to
believe that a warning in build time or modprobe time would do more than
multiple warnings on maillists.
