Maybe may English parser is broken, but this doesn't immediately sound like what you meant to say. Also, in 29/68 you say "We drop calls to strcpy, which makes auditing the code base easier." Maybe it's all ok, since on second reading the first "make" probably refers to the plural "calls for strcpy", while in the second case "makes" refers to "[the dropping of] calls to strcpy".
