I didn't say that other people's opinions don't count.  I have
my opinion, which I've already expressed, that old-style function
declarations and definitions should be removed from the language.

In C99, the committee removed implicit int from the language, and it
hadn't even been marked as obsolescent.  I agree with that decision,
and similar reasons apply to non-prototype function declarations
and definitions.  Removing them would make C a better language.
