The comment on the change is:
Rearrange for the most common use cases and simplify non-capturing matches

  The rules shown here are designed to work in !VirtualHost context. For information on translating them for .htaccess context, see RewriteContext
  
+ === Map all URIs except those corresponding to existing files to a handler ===
+ {{{
+ RewriteEngine On
+ RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
+ RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
+ RewriteRule . /script.php
+ }}}
+ 
+ This ruleset and the following will usually require the script to interpret the REQUEST_URI environment variable to determine what actions to take.

  === Map any request to a handler ===
  
- In the case where all URIs should be sent to the same place (including potentially requests for static content) the method to use depends on the type of the handler. For cgi scripts, use:

- 
- {{{
- ScriptAliasMatch .* /var/www/script.cgi

  For other handlers such as php scripts, use:
  {{{
  RewriteEngine On
- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !script.php
- RewriteRule . /script.php
+ RewriteRule !^/script.php /script.php
  }}}
  
- The purpose of the {{{RewriteCond}}} here is to avoid [:RewriteLooping:looping].

+ {{{
+ ScriptAliasMatch .* /var/www/script.cgi
+ }}}
  
  === Map URIs corresponding to existing files to a handler instead ===
  
  {{{
  RewriteEngine On
- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !script.php
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -d [OR]
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -f
- RewriteRule . /script.php
+ RewriteRule !^/script.php /script.php
  }}}
  
  If the existing files you wish to have handled by your script have a common set of file extensions distinct from that of the hander, you can bypass {{{mod_rewrite}}} and use instead {{{mod_actions}}}. Let's say you want all .html and .tpl files to be dealt with by your script:
