That would be OK too, for now, for the current (small size, typically
4-byte) PublicationActions struct.
But if that function was extended in the future to return more publication
information than just the PublicationActions struct (and I'm seeing that in
the filtering patches [1]), then using return-by-value won't be as
efficient as pass-by-reference, and I'd tend to stick with
pass-by-reference in that case.
