What's the benefit of doing the change?

There will almost certainly be some code somewhere that would be
broken by changing it, so it needs some benefit for doing it.

I strongly suspect just updating the documentation to be correct, and
then leaving the code behaving as it has been for the past decade or
so, would be a better strategy.
