Our changes are things like diagnostic trace/logs, which we can't have permanently switched on for performance reasons. We might want to switch them on, occasionally, at a customer site.
Indeed, we don't want to have them permanently present in the JSP at all (i.e. convert the pre-processing into a run-time check), also for performance reasons. That was the original motivation for making this stuff pre-processed.
