I know that. But it being drum type doesn't mean it cannot sieze, or freeze in winter. I've been tought to leave car stationary in gear, unless on steep incline or if diesel, that can self-prime w/o ignition, using parking brake usually for short periods of time or eg. by starting going up steep hill. By all those years driven using gearbox when parking has become natural habit since long ago.
LOL, i've also been told if i'll ever go to France, to never leave car with parking brake OR in gear, only in neutral to enable rolling, due their "parking methods" of multiple bumper contacts to squeeze between other cars
