The primary motivation behind the suggestion seems to be the fact that the feature is abused.
However, the documentation has no info whatsoever on what is the intended use -- thus what constitutes abuse. Without that, the accusations are kind of baseless -- how can we blame package authors for having to figure it out for themselves?
I've made a PR with the corresponding note.
Since the discussion has revealed a number of valid use cases for the feature for which there are no adequate alternatives currently, I hope it will diminish the discontent and be grounds to incite package authors to remove unnecessary logic from there. |
