Docs for sys.exit() contain the following note added in https://github.com/python/cpython/blame/1871a4a35123b278443b960255cb14314ce196f6/Doc/library/sys.rst#L336

Changed in version 3.7: Added utf8_mode attribute for the new -X utf8 flag.

Does it belong to the adjacent docs for sys.flags (though they mention utf8_mode too)?

Yes, it's a note for sys.flags. Can you please add it back to sys.flags?

Sorry, I added the note at the wrong place.

Victor, but sys.flags docs *do* contain the note[1]:

Changed in version 3.7: Added dev_mode attribute for the new -X dev flag and utf8_mode attribute for the new -X utf8 flag.

I've tried to express that in msg324086, but obviously failed.

Ah ok, in this case, everything is fine :-)
