I have a little bit of data. In the days before I did brake fluid changes I had a few seal failures in master and wheel cylinders. Since going to fluid changes I've had no seal failures.

The initial discharge from the calipers or wheel cylinders is always dirty, which I've unscientifically assumed is debris from the seals.
