This style is locally consistent in the file, so anyone who reads the
file will encounter { 0, 0 } elements anyway.

So, I think it makes sense to:

- Keep this patch as is (except for the trailing comma, I'll remove that)
- Add a second patch that replaces all the sentinel elements with
  { /* sentinel */ }

This patch can go into stable branches, and the style cleanup doesn't
have to.


Best regards,
Jonathan
