I spent a few minutes with git blame/checkout/show and so far have found https://bugs.python.org/issue1869 (via https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/e6a076d). Still reading -- looks like there were a number of different changes made to round() at the same time for various reasons -- so maybe changing from round_half_up to round_half_even was necessary for the other improvements, and it couldn't have been exposed as a separate function? Or maybe that was just never proposed?
