because it's a new thing, and it helps those people that don't follow
closely enough to know that there is a new thing.  So if at some point
any given package start to need some "reboot required" information,
everybody who read once the checklist know that there already is a
policy/standard for that.

Like you document in the checklist addition to the virtual packages:
also those don't require any change to existing packages, it's just
there for everybody to know that starting from that version they can
make use of that new thing.
