Just fyi to everyone, there is this in style(9):
     In general code can be considered “new code” when it makes up about 50%
     or more of the file(s) involved.  This is enough to break precedents in
     the existing code and use the current style guidelines.

As such, if the "return 0;" predates this patch series, Neel is correct
to use "return 1;", since that precedent has already been established.
I'll admit I see the above ignored a lot and personally don't care if
the above generality is followed, but it is in style(9) and I do
think a consistent style is preferred over a jumble within a source file.

I believe I was asked to do this in the review.
