VPN's `excludeDeviceCommunication` - official explanation?

iOS 17.4 added a new flag for VPNs: excludeDeviceCommunication.

The documentation does not include any description of what it does (though an Apple engineer explained it during a WWDC labs session). Can the documentation be updated to add some explanation for this? Thank you!

My go-to resource for this sort of thing is Routing your VPN network traffic. If that’s not sufficient, please file a bug against the doc explaining what else you’d like it to cover.

If you do file a bug, please post your bug number, just for the record.
