New edit of an old article?

Does anyone see any reason why Rich OutlookBar in XP and Vista style[^] would need a rework? I have checked and there are just minimal changes (i.e. size in the pic, &-quot versus " oder Tab versus spaces). I can't really understand what does these changes bring after 14 years Or am I missing something? M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Not sure what you're getting at. I sometimes make minor edits to my articles but can now publish them without moderation. But I only check the "Mark article as updated?" box if the article or its code has been meaningfully revised. Otherwise it would put the article on the front page for no reason, which is abusive. If a revised article that requires moderation is always treated as if it should go onto the front page, I'd call that a site defect rather than deliberate abuse by its author.

Fair enough...

What more or less was my question But I am not going to report it, just wanted to know if I am missing something or not, because I can't find any good reason for those minimal changes done, and even less after 14 years without touching.
