Consistency in oxford commas. When listing an item with more than 3 elements you either add a comma before the "and" for the last element or you don't add a comma. It is fine either way, but it should be consistent.

"I like apples, oranges, and bananas."

vs

"I like apples, oranges and bananas."

Team's Response

To our knowledge, there is no clear consensus on whether serial commas need to be there or not. We understand the issue is about consistency since serial comma appears in one line but not in the other. However, we did this on purpose to make the sentences sound more natural. Thus, we do not think this warrants a documentation bug.
