That is true. But problem is, without an error indication, end_extra_stats(STATS_READ) can only blindly perform cleanup works. As you are providing general purposed callbacks, who knows what scenarios extensions would do, so it’s better to provide more information to callbacks. IMO, letting end_extra_stats() know current situation (normal or failure, even error code) is very meaningful. For example, my extension may want to log “I am forced to quite due to outside error” or “I am done successfully” in end_extra_stats(). Anyway, that’s my own opinion. If you and Michael still consider that’s not a problem, I won’t argue more.
