Agree.

I view discouragements as a means of highlighting cross-platform or serious legacy software pitfalls. In this case, I don't see any great advantage in a discouragement. The practice has already escaped into the wild, and I think clarity and decisiveness would be best here.

More knowledgable people, please correct me.
