Most recently there was something in the thread "long time, no see" where
someone brought up a difference in the clock value generated by a scene file
and one of the responses was

"As said, it is a precision issue.  It is irrelevant what 3.1 would output
because it is a precision issue and thus it really doesn't matter if
something changed or not.  Just get used to it."

I don't know if it was an actual bug or not but it seemed to be written off
without investigation.

In another thread:

Neither is correct.  Both work at any place in the camera statement.

This one is a bug that I noticed when rendering an older file.

Of course, it's still in beta so there's still time for these to be checked
and fixed if needed.  It's just that sometimes users are not asked to double
check if it cannot be reproduced, or if there's a good reason for a change
that it is not given.
