I am still curious about this one.

In any case, I've reworded the above around "3 years".

    string-list: remove unused function print_string_list
    
    A removal of this helper function was proposed 3 years ago [1]; the
    function was never used since it was introduced in 2006 back then,
    and there is no new callers since.  Now time has proven we really do
    not need the function.
