The BIPM has three levels of "non-SI units accepted
for use with" SI. Those units are table 8, which is
the bottom level: "use is not encouraged" (was "to be
avoided"). I think the BIPM intention is that people
should stop learning about and using these units. So
you are probably acting in accordance with that
intention if you do not highlight them.
