Will do in a reroll with the objective of "let's make the pedantic job
more useful" but that is IMHO less of a priority and orthogonal to the
objective of this series which was "let's avoid breaking our CI
because of fedora's gcc updates".

Original I had that done on top of ab/http-gcc-12-workaround (which
fixes a real, albeit likely harmless bug that compiler was surfacing,
and that will also break our CI in a few days) but after the feedback
from this thread, think might be preferred and also less likely to
conflict with current seen.

Would that be reasonable, eventhough it is so late in the RC cycle?
