Hi Jason.

To clarify, I does not have any issue with this change. I asked here
only because I would like some background knowledge on this flag, to
ensure I am on the same page as the community regarding this flag and
the change. And it seems that I understands it correctly.

However I do think it's a good idea to update the document soon to avoid
any misunderstanding in the future.
