More simply put, the Boehm idea was to make fingering a bit easier and put a little tuning in the hands of the player - the long B would be a little sharp and the low E and F would be a little flat.
As we started to be more conscious of the differences between Boehm and Oehler tuning of late, Buffet (starting with the Tosca) and Yamaha (the CSG line), have added the extra key to raise the low F slightly (venting on the joint CANNOT affect low E...Yamaha in New York has created a vent option that uses the bell that works for both low notes).
Personally I do like the attempt but until the vent is universally added to the bell, I find the extra keywork pointless.
