Providing a linter option to catch it would be fine.
Officially discouraging it would be going too far, I think.

It's one thing to promote style guidelines concerning
how to use or not use certain language features. But this
would be telling people they should *never* use an entire
feature -- effectively deprecating it even if there is
no intention to remove it -- for very subjective reasons.

That comes across as excessively moralistic to me. I
object to someone telling me what I should or shouldn't
do in the privacy of my own code.
