It may well have, but it's a change that's bad.  For what it's worth,
the Debian manuals still document this:

  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-
reference/ch07.en.html#_customizing_the_x_session_classic_method

I've been a member of the Linux community for 20 years--Take comfort in
the fact that these shell scripts have often changed rather arbitrarily
over the years on many different distributions, and the owners of those
changes seemingly do not understand the consequences of the changes they
have made.

This stuff was designed this way for a reason...  It's supposed to make
it easy for the user to customize their X window system session
regardless of what shell they use or how they have their environment set
up.  This change is one of several that actually work against that goal.
