The line-based format has had the flag since v4.4 (issue #286), where
it prepends -p to the built-in getty, which turns it into login -p and
passes the environment on. The block format was written from the three
documented tty variants and the flags listed in the tty documentation,
and passenv was in neither, so it was left out. Converting a tty line
that used it therefore lost it, with nothing said.
It only reaches the built-in getty. An external getty is handed its
arguments through command, so there is nowhere to put a -p, and the
setting is refused with a warning rather than quietly ignored.

The migration guide told anyone holding the repeated-stanza idiom for a
per-platform service to split the variants across files or stay on the
line-based format, because a block title is an identity and the
variants have to share one barrier. provides is the answer, so the
guide converts that shape now instead of routing around it, and the
header of 10-hotplug.conf.in no longer points at the workaround.

The migration guide covered a stanza at a time, which is the wrong
shape for the two idioms that repeated a whole stanza. One of them,
several candidate binaries for one service, is now a command list.
The other, one service gated differently per platform, has no block
equivalent: those blocks share an identity because they share the
barrier condition downstream services wait for, so they cannot be
given separate titles. For that one the guide says to split the
variants across files, or leave that file in the line-based format,
which Finit still reads.
The udevd example in services.md taught the merge-broken form, and
system/10-hotplug.conf.in pointed readers at it for their syslogd.
Also lists libConfuse among the build dependencies. It has been
mandatory since the new .conf format landed, and build.md still said
two libraries. And corrects the note on variable expansion: it is
${VAR} that libconfuse expands when the file is read, with
${VAR:-default} supported. A plain $VAR reaches the service, which is
what makes `command = "syslogd -F $SYSLOGD_ARGS"` work with envfile.

The new-format reference describes the block format on its own terms,
which is the wrong lookup direction for someone holding a legacy
one-liner. Aaron migrated Finix OS from the PR description, proving
the need for a token-in, key-out mapping in the user guide.
One table per part of a stanza, worked conversions for the shapes
that changed structurally -- cgroup selection and the three tty
variants -- and the dropped tokens listed with their replacements.
