If you want specific changes, "lots more" isn't helpful information about 
those changes.

If you want to discuss policy regarding legacy APIs, libc-alpha would be a 
better place than Bugzilla to discuss the general question of 
reconsidering whether interfaces from BSD and SVID, that are not in POSIX, 
belong in the _GNU_SOURCE API or not.  If there's support for 
reconsidering some such interfaces, then individual bugs could be filed in 
Bugzilla for each case that someone thinks should be removed from the 
_GNU_SOURCE API (the developers may end up disagreeing with some of those 
cases; separate bugs for each case are best to avoid entangling 
consideration of one API with that of other APIs).
