Referencing does not necessarily imply recommending as BCP. On a side note, I'd be interesting to know why reducing the impact of the maintenance using gshut is not considered as worth it, while it is for culling. Especially since the benefit of the latter is 90 second (and configurable) while the former is minutes (and not configurable).
