Hi,

From my point of view, ’recommend’ is like ’tag’. It is not
well-defined and then it opens to many bikesheds. And it adds
maintenance burden.
For instance, let consider the package hello written in C language.
Some people would recommend GDB, some Valgrind. For packages using Git,
some would recommend plain Git, some git-extensions or Magit. For
packages using Python, some would recommend plain Python and others
IPython, maybe Jupyter. About COq, some would recommend Coq-IDE, some
Proof-General. And so on.
From my opinion, the package manager is not the correct level for
“social” recommendations.
Cheers,
simon
