My gut feeling is to dislike this particular instance.

It's changing the order of removal of elements to not
be a reverse of the order of them being set up.  That
takes it from obviously correct to something where some thought
is required.  For the trivial saving in lines of code I'm
unconvinced it is a worthwhile change..

Mind you, this particular driver isn't balancing the
probe and remove order anyway (the regulator stuff)
so I guess it's not making it much worse...
