ServiceNow recommends to disable configuration file tracking. Why?

[Suggy]

In one of the docs, ServiceNow recommends to disable configuration file tracking. Why so? Any particular circumstances it will cause issue? 

Doc just recommends to disable without providing any reason 😕

One reason to not collect Tracked Configuration files are they can contain sensitive information including credentials.
