if you set up the policies correctly (and you should, but I didn't go
back to check now) then you don't need the policy here

it's not super useful to use !! to assign to a bool, and if you wanted
to be fancy you'd use nla_flag(), right? ;)

same here, and then it kind of cannot fail, I think

You've got to be _kidding_ me, why do I even have to get see such
obviously redundant code?

Please read your own code.
