Don't know.

Well, I'm sure I want this. Just to keep track when things was approved 
/ rejected and alike.

Well, that's because the term "not recommended" is used I guess. If 
someone would ask me if it's a pretty good idea to use any of those tags 
I would not recommend it. I've added a short explanation to the page why 
it's probably not a good idea to use those tags.

I've changed the "header" of that page a bit, e.g. links to related 
pages were missing.
