Why replace the comments? I prefer them, even with the WARN. The reason
is, when using functions, I don't tend to look inside the function I'm
about to use, but instead, I expect the comment above the function to
have basic information I need to use it. Especially what locks are
expected to be held.
Please keep the comments in place, but the WARNs are fine. They are not
a replacement for the comments.
Nack on removing comments.
