I too find this a bit strong -- given what I've said about about
optimising for writing these files, I don't think we should be expecting
people to come up with a package-specific reason if they find themselves
wanting to use the old format.

I'd like to suggest this recommendation could be of the same strength as
the "use salsa" recommendation, i.e., weaker than the dh recommendation,
and directed at people with no reasons to prefer either who are
wondering which to use.
