This shows that since 2017, no one has actually used the type field.
And there is only one caller that sets it to anything other than this
value.  But no one even uses that!

So let's remove the one caller that is not working, and just leave this
as-is and maybe make this even simpler by removing the type field as no
one seems to need it.
