This text was added to the doc string for Emacs 24.4:
The optional argument REGION if non-nil, indicates that we're not just killing
some text between BEG and END, but we're killing the region.
1. That text should be filled, so the lines are no wider than 70
columns.
2. The text should say what this "indication" MEANS. To what or to
whom are "we" indicating this fact? And why? What is the
USER-VISIBLE EFFECT of a non-nil REGION arg? Why/when would might
one want to pass non-nil REGION? IOW, WHAT IS THIS PARAMETER FOR?
In GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)

The doc string has been fixed sometime during the last year.
