Nothing is rotting here, as the code is working.  No bug reports have been 
generated because of this longstanding practice.  As the benefits of the 
proposed change to the practice do not appear to exceed the costs, I'd rather 
leave things be.

No special guidance is needed, as the search heuristics are obvious.  For 
example, if the change involves replacing strcat with stpcpy, look at all uses 
of strcat in the modules you're interested in.
