Comment (by fabricecanel):

 Fabrice from Bing: thanks for considering this sitemap change. This change
 will really help on a massive scale to optimize the crawling of all
 WordPress sites leading to cost savings and an improvement in the
 freshness and completeness of indexed content. Through upcoming
 testimonials and sharing of data, they aim to demonstrate the benefits and
 encourage other search engines to leverage lastmod too. It's important to
 keep in mind that sitemaps are a daily task, therefore, the adoption of
 IndexNow by WordPress (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/52900) is
 highly recommended to further improve crawl efficiency and ensure content
 freshness. I update the IndexNow feature request as the code is already
 prepared and this is truly a game changer.
