See for example the commit message for revision 1.16 of src/usr.sbin/ xargs/xargs.1.

At the time, it wasn't clear to me how significant these changes were. I'm happy to be corrected, but this is why I like to get heads-up messages (or text or direct commits) from developers regarding changes they consider to be important.
