When Fenoxo made it possible to attack flying targets with melee weapons if Steele has wings or a jetpack, it flew under the radar and didn't make it into the patch notes. As such, many people who don't come to the forums don't know about the change, and assume you still can't.
Granted, not everyone reads patch notes, but at least it would be there.
