Comment (by dd32):

 Diffing the versions in github looks sane, as does this patch.

 It's always been expected that these files would not parse under PHP7, as
 they're not loaded there. Unfortunately it seems that WPEngine blocks
 deploying these files, causing issues.

 While I have no issue updating these, as we're so close to the 4.9
 release, I'm tempted to leave it until 4.9.1 or 5.0 - even though I don't
 expect it'll cause any breakage.
