That's exactly what I wanted to know. Just by looking at the code, it's hard for me to tell if that custom_detail_post_labels() function is less official than, say, the register_post_type function. Both look similarly clean, or hackish, depending on your milage. It could very well be "official but undocumented".
Now, I don't know how widely spread this particular piece of code is, but as you can see, it's circulating. Just a bit of wishful thinking: for a theme designer, it would be great to have a "popular wisdom" section in the Codex that would document such methods (with a disclaimer telling that it's not officially supported), and some rating and comments system that would allow to measure the general usefulness and popularity of such recipes (similarly to the plugins). Or is wordpress.stackexchange supposed to do exactly that? Maybe, but I think it would be good to centralize things more. Stackexchange is useful, but extremely disorganized. Having to hunt for information between Codex, stackexchange, forums and personal developer blogs can induce schizophrenia after some time.
