Actually, to me there is a big difference between "recommending" a 
program for use and listing alternatives that are compatible (which is 
the case for the applications in question). I actually don't like the 
phrasing, because I understand "we're not recommending these" as a nice 
formulation of "We strongly discourage you from using these".

Cheers,
Reinhold
