Increasingly, I omit these sections, except for noting new editions on a copyright page. As a user, I don't give these sections much attention, and I don't think many other people do, either, since it seems to be a trend to minimize or omit them. There doesn't seem much point in sections that nobody uses, although I have kept revision histories for internal use at some companies.
