Since the adjacent `os` functions recently changed to use this interface, and the disproportionate (to me) amount of bikeshedding it took to reach a consensus on that, introducing yet another interface here, for what's essentially a subcomponent, doesn't make much sense. It's clearer if the whole `os` stack sticks to the same interface.

I agree. Its not pretty, but consistent with what we did elsewhere. Nobody wants to do that discussion again.
