I guess it’s only what the article says - relevant for some space manoeuvres or precise measurements, and a curiosity otherwise.

In the long run days are getting longer anyway, as angular momentum keeps being transferred from earth to moon, which is slowly getting farther away. See Wikipedia Day - Variations in length and Moon - System evolution.
