I don't know the details, but I suspect that was the result of my general guideline "don't start projects cleaning up lots of stdlib code just to satisfy some new style rule or just to use a new API" -- which came from hard-won experience where such a cleanup project introduced some new bugs that weren't found by review nor by tests. Though that was admittedly a long time. Still, such a project can really sap reviewer resources for relatively little benefit.
