A search through my archives shows that I've been using it since it became my responsibility to list quorum in my distributions. That happened with the adoption of Proposal 7853, "Close Ancient Loopholes", by ais523, on Monday June 5th 2017, which also set quorum to always be an integer value. So it looks like an arbitrary insertion by me. :) It's part of the format now, so I'd prefer not to change it, but I will if there's public demand to do so. Sorry everyone for the mixup. I'm astonished it lasted this long without anyone catching it.
