It's historical, yes.
It was a (quite common) trick to be able to load an a.out image (with 
a.out header stripped using dd first) and begin execution at at first 
address.  Use for example in the boot programs.

But please check that a system is bootable before committing this. I'm 
not sure that everything related to exec starts from (address + 2) :-)
