Do App extensions require privacy manifests?

Near the bottom, Describing data use in privacy manifests, says:

App extensions don’t include privacy information files. The operating system and App Store Connect use the privacy information file in the extension’s host app bundle, in combination with those from third-party SDKs your app links to.

Yet the warnings email we see lists the app's extensions as missing manifests.

Are we reading the documentation incorrectly?

Getting this clarified helps us justify approvals for the additional work.

Apple removed the quoted paragraph from the documentation.

We noticed today, but it was done some time between April 18 and April 25.

So the answer must be 'Yes, app extensions require privacy manifests."

Same for me here. I've added the privacy manifest in the host app, but when uploading the build I get these errors:

Your app’s code in the “PlugIns/[]NotificationService.appex/[]NotificationService” file references one or more APIs that require reasons, including the following API categories: NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryFileTimestamp
