I think this quote from CSS Tricks says it all:

This isn't a majorly huge thing. You might already be using the box-sizing reset the "old way" and never have gotten bit by it. That's the case for me. But as long as we're promoting a "best practice" style snippet, we might as well hone it to be the best it can be.
