So very, very long ago as to make this a very odd question.

The oldest version of tips.texi in the CVS dates from 1994:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/lispref/tips.texi?hideattic=0&revision=1.1&root=emacs&view=markup

and it has a version of that statement.

Well I haven't checked every Emacs package in use, but if you find any
not doing it, report it as a bug to whoever maintains it.
