That, but also the tooling evolved. I think that including a `Manifest.toml` was a good idea before compat bounds were widespread. Now registered packages caught up with this.

I mostly follow [this advice](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/does-manifest-toml-belong-in-the-repository/12029/2), but it would be great if the Pkg manual could discuss this briefly.
