Yes, it does. I've updated the documentation in r152543.

This information is used by Clang to determine when it is safe to use <code>f</code>: for example, if Clang is instructed to compile code for Mac OS X 10.5, a call to <code>f()</code> succeeds. If Clang is instructed to compile code for Mac OS X 10.6, the call succeeds but Clang emits a warning specifying that the function is deprecated. Finally, if Clang is instructed to compile code for Mac OS X 10.7, the call fails because <code>f()</code> is no longer available.</p>
