Full passage:
The Iron Hands otherwise make efforts to ensure they appear to follow the Codex closely, aware of the danger should intolerant eyes dwell upon them too long.
For this reason, the Chapter’s clan companies form into the squad types and numbers mandated by the Codex.
Indeed, since Guilliman’s return, the Iron Council have presented the Lord Commander with myriad technical revisions to the Codex’s decrees, though what might come of this — if anything — is the business of seers and prognosticators, not beings grounded in rational wisdom.
- The Iron Hands 8th codex
Honestly think Guilliman would appreciate the revisions and actually review them
I can imagine the Iron Hands and Guilliman basically have like a little penman thing going on
Basically just revising the space book (tm)

Aside from the plating, very little things have changed.

When you got inductii out the balls they get the sarum pattern helmet that has the benefits of being easy to produce and that's about it

Kind of, the production of the mark itself is a composite. In another word, it is the least standardized pattern. The "production" Mk5s are just the new piece of the previous marks slapped together.

Mkx is just for primaris because they're big boys, they don't fit in the smaller firstborn armour unless some coghead went through the trouble of sizing it up

Also because mk10s were made without many people knowing about it until Gman were back and decided to release them.

There's that
dapper gyro
Cawls were collecting data and updating the armour all those years as well. It could also be why there is no Mk9, since Mk8 was so horrible, Mk9 could be the fix for it, but then the primaris pattern came out of no where so they scrapped it and took the primaris one to be the 10th.
