I don't see the significance.

The compiler didn't expect an alignment bigger than 8 bytes in some cases.
These misalignments are now fixed ([#14906], [#14843]).

*Thanks [@HertzDevil]*

Other bug fixes are atomic allocation for `ReferenceStorage(T)` if `T` has no inner pointers ([#14845])
and explicitly clearing deleted `Hash::Entry` ([#14862]).
