Ivan Pozdeev <ivan_pozd...@mail.ru> added the comment:

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.
