The 6538 has two functions. The first one is as an axle connector and is the
common use. The second one is far less obvious but TECHNIC core fans know it
is used in combination with the driving ring (6539) in gear boxes. Only this
second functionnality needs the connector to be notched.

Incidentally, both the old and new versions have a useful SNOT function,
enabling one to place two 2x2 or larger pieces in a studs-in orientation due
to the connector being able to fit between four studs. While I consider this
useful, I have yet to incorporate it into a completed MOC. YMMV.

A corollary to this (that I discovered yesterday - apologies if this is already
well known) is that you can use a bushing to lock a driving ring to the axle -
the same notches that allow the bushing to fit between four studs will act as
the grooves in the axle joiner that the driving ring grips. Not sure how useful
this is, but it could be worth knowing.
