Default Odd gas cap seal question

Hello,

I ordered a new seal kit for my gas cap for my XJS convertible because the old seal appeared to be cracked. Now upon removing the seal from the car, it is obvious someone intentionally cut a notch into it. What were they trying to remedy?

Looks like they cut it to vent the fuel tank. It must of had a blocked vent
