I think I found what this is meant to change, but it's not clear why one
is better than the other. I think you would need to provide some
concrete examples with screenshots perhaps that people could look at.

I'm not a fan of this change. The boxes break the flow of the text.

I think it's ok to put boxes and shading around elements that are not in
the flow of the text, like the warning boxes, are perhaps tables or
formal examples. But not verbatim text that is part of the main text.
