Many Modbus vendors specify the register addresses in octal, so it can be very convenient to use octal addresses in the link fields for the EPICS modbus driver. For exmaple, search for "octal" in this document.

These octal values would occur in the INP and OUT fields of records. I don't know if those would be impacted by this change?
