I think it should be #2.  As I recall, older versions of Emacs did
#1.  When I work on files now, I tend to change the functions that I'm
working on, but I don't just change everything because it would create
problems for merging patches from people who are working with released
versions.

But if you want to clean up more of this, now is probably a good time
to do it.
