Sure, but it does nothing to improve the situation except to reiterate
that the code could be better.

None of the places that you find that don't check the return values are
doing it because we make a conscious decision not to; they are doing it
because that's the pattern that was always present in the code and
everyone follows the existing pattern.

If you want to improve the situation, supply patches that do so...
that's the best way to get the job done. No matter how many people may
agree with you, it's unlikely that any of the existing developers were
just sitting around with spare time waiting for someone to suggest work
for them to do :-)
