bug#49631: 28.0.50; dired-hide-details-mode Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 24.4

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

C-h f dired-hide-details-mode says

  Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 24.4.

Why doesn't it _know_ precisely which versiob that function was
introduced in?  It was only a few versions ago, so this was not
something lost in prehistory.  What causes the uncertainty?
