I'm sorry.
From my point of view, "fixing the pointless switch" is just "pointless",
so it (again) fell through. I get it that it is important to others,
and getting rid of Clang warnings is a good thing. So sorry again.

Last actual fix was 2018-06-25 64dafbc9530c drbd: fix access after free
so almost six month, yes.

Oh, it is maintained. It is just happens to be "stable".
We don't add new features there,
and I'm currently not aware of any misbehavior.

I'll prepare a pull request containing this,
the other Clang warning patch from Nathan,
and possibly other small stuff that accumulated,
if I can find any, and send that out later today.

Thanks for the reminder,

Lars
