No, it just makes sure that by default the new features are handled
as undocumented.  So if you forget to mark, someone will check it,
and add documentation if necessary.

This assumes that everyone remembers to put the mark.  What if you
forget?

This should never happen.  That's another reason those marks are
good: they stick out and ask to be documented. ;-)
