Of course not, but when such a dependency is the reason you make a change in the first place, I think it ought to be mentionned. If the chance caused a regression on an obscure platform using some barely used debugging format, this could give a hint of where to look (STABS for example) to see how it is done there and if bogus assumptions were made about the previous behaviour.
