Its noted in the whatsnew file for 1.12 (A39) release but probably not anywhere else at the moment:

+ Record data changes for user database:                                    
  - First on and last on dates are now stored in Unix timestamp format.
  - Expire, last password change, and last e-mail validation dates now use         julian day number 

In general the idea is to remove the old DOS format date stamps whenever any structural changes are done to records that still use them.  They are still all over the place though, as the structures change rarely.
