Ah, and no earlier than 2015 it was changed to

  -It is not good practice to call
  -.Xr exit 3
  -with arbitrary values to indicate a failure condition when ending a program.
  -Instead, the pre-defined exit codes from
  -.Nm
  -should be used, so the caller of the process can get a rough
  -estimation about the failure class without looking up the source code.

I totally agree with the pre-2015 text.  It it true.
