Usually use flags that are discouraged are intended mainly to solve |
| 16 |
limitations in how we express dependencies/etc. It isn't that we |
| 17 |
don't want users to use them, but more that in the future we might |
| 18 |
change how they work and they could go away, causing trouble for those |
| 19 |
who depend on them. Think of them as unintentionally-exposed private |
| 20 |
interfaces. |

If there is something you want to do and there isn't a supported way |
| 23 |
to do it, feel free to discuss/ suggest/ beg/ etc. |

| 25 |
But, if you're told that doing something in a particular way isn't a |
| 26 |
good idea, be sure you understand why before you do it anyway. :) |
