The conda activate command has been the preferred since version 4.4 (released around December 2017). In short, the old source activate command does not work reliably in all environments and may not even be available in newer installations. The new conda activate command resolves those issues.
The note is a minimal change to help with this. You may want to consider inverting this at some point: making conda activate the main instruction and adding a not about versions earlier than 4.4.
