Only the last of those four ventures to give a reason for the prohibitions. I'm sure other reasons exist, but it would be nice if there were a place in the docs (which the above passages could reference) where they were explained. I don't think a huge amount of technical detail is needed, but ""just don't do that"" isn't quite enough."	enhancement	closed	Documentation		normal	fixed			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
