And while I get that turning on warnings in a code-base not designed with them can be annoying, `-Wunused` is certainly within reach. I've enabled and maintained `-Weverything` in a 30m LoC C code base that is older than myself. OpenZFS should try harder to enable such warnings in their CI.

That's a bit unfair. The size and age of the codebase speaks nothing of its quality. I've thrown out 50k 5yro Python code without a second thought.

Also, filesystems are an insanely complex problem, and ZFS is by far the most complex one to be widely deployed.
