Usually use flags that are discouraged are intended mainly to solve
limitations in how we express dependencies/etc. It isn't that we
don't want users to use them, but more that in the future we might
change how they work and they could go away, causing trouble for those
who depend on them. Think of them as unintentionally-exposed private
interfaces.
If there is something you want to do and there isn't a supported way
to do it, feel free to discuss/ suggest/ beg/ etc.
But, if you're told that doing something in a particular way isn't a
good idea, be sure you understand why before you do it anyway. :)
