Hi James,

See below for comment on this.  Upshot - I think you can delete that
function instead and rely on the weak version.

If you can't because of a later change, useful to call that out
in this patch description for those like me who read an review
in a linear fashion!

Looks like the weak version introduced in patch 3.  Can this
implementation go away and fallback to that?
