Hand-editing is perfectly acceptable if it is done right. The reason that editing is discouraged is because mixing it with API usage can result in hand edits getting lost. The online Schema API reference now includes a note about why hand-editing is discouraged. The managed-schema comment could include a link to that. Thanks, Shawn
