We've had extremely bad experience with commits that switched to new language features all over the code base. They created extremely big commits that have been very hard to review - and introduced subtle diferences that resulted in multiple regressions. I'd strongly recommend to only change code you are touching anyway. If you really feel like doing changes accross the code base please make sure you do so in commits that are of a reasonable size and can be reviewed easily.
