I see a download link for a diff, but I can't tell from that whether it
implements the same functions. Sorry for the confusion.

No, I've mostly been keeping to myself for the past couple of years; it
seems nobody generally has much use anymore for someone still running

We have cases often enough where it would take measurable time to vette

or more, in some cases. Bulk-vette takes seconds. So the rationale is
the same, even if the cause is different.
