From 4.4BSD as a historical reference:
The ISVTX (the sticky bit) indicates to the system which executable files
are shareable (the default) and the system maintains the program text of
the files in the swap area. The sticky bit may only be set by the super
user on shareable executable files.
Though, it has long obsolete since then.
