Personally the way I parse this situation is that the kernel is taking

a supported thing when we don't have to makes it more cumbersome to 
improve and discourages any efforts to do similar things in the 
future. It is reasonable to provide and document something here but 
when there's some fairly simple and obvious better things we could be 
doing it should be those rather than the legacy stuff. 

So what are the "simple and obvious better things" that one can use instead?
