Since the newly introduced operator noexcept makes it
easy (easier than previously) to detect whether or not a
function has been declared with the empty exception

cannot throw should be decorated with the empty
exception specification. Failing to do so and leaving it as a
matter of QoI would be detrimental to portability and
efficiency.
