That's what my web searching failed to find... It looks like dash doesn't have up-to-date documentation on its changes. There's a ChangeLog file in the upstream Git repository's top level directory[1] (shipped as changelog.gz in the Debian package), but the most recent entry in it is dated 2014-11-17. We might *guess* that this change was made to make dash more strict about POSIX minimalism (removing extensions), but without documentation we can't do more than guess about motives.
