 > No problems with new files in /tests. They are only problematic in
 /build for minor releases.

 Doh, good point :)

 [attachment:43545.6.diff] has lots of good tweaks. A few minor questions:

 * Should `@uses` be added? It sounds like
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/inline-
 documentation-standards/php/#phpdoc-tags the standard discourages it now],
 and I personally feel like it adds a maintenance overhead without being
 particularly useful.
 * I don't think `inet_(ntop|pton)` `throw` any exceptions, so is there a
 benefit of using `try/catch`?
 * It looks like the changes to `src/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-community-
 events.php` and `tests/phpunit/tests/admin/includesCommunityEvents.php`
 were left out.
