No, there's no particular reason.  It is changed in CVS.

Please send proper unified diffs in future though.

Despite that this change has been accepted, I think this is basically
a Sun bug.  Programs should write where they're told; it is not good
Unix behaviour to care about extensions other than as a hint.
