Thanks, that seems reasonable.
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
