I understand this change, I think it is good

...but I don't understand this? It looks like it would also break 10.1
and/or 10.3 as well?

I would rather use casts if needed, which wouldn't change the behavior
but would highlight the unsigned->signed conversion, making it more
visible:

    !domain_adjust_tot_pages(d, -(int)dec_count));

__isleap return bool and we deviated bool conversions in logical
operations but not here, so I understand why this is needed. OK.
