Cf bug 1 :D  I remember the page you're thinking of, and it did IIRC indeed say
something like that.  I'm not blaming anyone for anything apart from ignoring
that "but to not rely on..." phrase.  

It's only "unwanted" in the sense that the *confusion it causes* is unwanted;
other than that it's just amicably useless.
