It has nothing to do with "backward compatibility" at all, but
everything to do with something which was done wrong initially and needs
to be fixed. The fact that this "has been out for a long time" is not an
excuse - if anything, it reflects pretty badly that this wasn't spotted
earlier. Besides, when a bug is discovered do you write a man page
documenting it or do you fix that particular bug?

As I stated before - documenting a bug doesn't make it right. The proper
course of action is to fix that particular bug, not document it in a
bloody man page!
