I haven't checked the topics in flight that touch the same file, but
as these are file-scope static, it is easy to check the correctness,
and the change of function signature will mean that compilers will
notice after a merge if there is somebody else who still wants them
to be conditionally verbose.

I wonder if these were always unused, or we lost different callers
over time, though.
