1. It would make the code more consistant.
   % cd usr.bin/make
   % grep printf *.c
   % grep close *.c

2. It clutters the code without adding much
    information.

3. Does anyone really still use lint?  Compilers
   today generate better warnings and most don't
   warn about unused return values.

4. We are removing casting to '(void)' from our
   code base :-)

PS.  I looked at /usr/share/misc/style and there
     is confusion there too :-)

     printf(...)        without a cast
     (void)fprintf(...) with a cast
