I think that's been inconsistencies from the part of early contributors which is the same reason we are having "haystack and needle" problem and I'm not sure there's a problem fixing those old days mistake. The major issues I'm seeing now is that, those who did bring up those functions back then are the one leading the fight against correcting them, maybe it helps them stay relevant IDK.
