RAII as the way of writing exception-safe C++ code has been recommende ever since the language added support for exceptions. It's in Stroustrup, Meyers, etc.

It's a ~15 year old best practice. We're not talking about template metaprogramming here...

One's changing working code is another's refactoring.
