Maybe we should make them all void including parse_update() and
parse_rrefresh(). The return value of parse_rrefresh is not checked and
the code around parse_update() is most probably wrong for the error case. 
In the end when a parse error happens we need to generate a notification
and properly throw an error in the FSM but there is no need to bubble up
the error.
