Looks like on the BSD side it disappeared between 4.3 Tahoe and Reno. It's
in research through v10. It's in SVR2; SVR4 modifies it to say "An unusual
calendar is printed for September 1752." I don't seem to have manpages
with either of the SVR3 source distributions that I have handy. So to
answer your basic question, it stayed around for quite a while.
