Why does OS X Mavericks blocksblock the `purge`purge command on terminalin Terminal?

When I try the purge command on my terminal, OS X Mavericks gives me the following message:

Unable to purge disk buffers: Operation not permitted

Unable to purge disk buffers: Operation not permitted

This hasn't been the default behavior until now. I wonder why Apple changed that. Is there a reason behind this decision? What are the advantages/disadvantages of this?
