I saw that change... I don't know anything about the exact failures seen on the CDF's at Palmetto, but I have a hard time imagining that using a BHCS in a counterbore vs a flat head screw in a countersink is significant enough to prevent CDF's from breaking consistently (as the unmodified ones did at Palmetto).
