I think the point is we shouldn't need a helper function at all.  I
agree with that.  The unpleasant part is having code churn over
something so trivial.

I'd say deprecate/remove it from Oslo to discourage new users of it if
you'd like, but leave existing uses alone for now.  It doesn't hurt
anything, and code churn comes at a cost.
