No idea. Perhaps to make upgrading easier for people running
(huge/complex) 3.x-installations? They even still list "missing
squid.conf options available in Squid-2.7"! ;-)

But as I read it, 3.x will not be continued, see:

https://wiki.squid-cache.org/RoadMap/Squid3

"We are no longer releasing new Squid series with 3.x numbers."

Best,
Matthias
