These days, I don't think adding inline buys us much (other than explicit cases where always_inline or noinline is necessary). gcc already does good enough job for inlining and 'inline' hint seems more to hinder rather than help and I don't really see what it buys for code readers either, so I won't be taking this one.
Thanks.
