Desirable? no.
Common? kinda, yes, sadly.
It's usually good to look at the existing advice as "requests for hooks".
I haven't spent the energy to look at them this way, tho.
IOW patches welcome.

I definitely hope it will be gone before 2040, but it hasn't even been
declared officially obsolete yet (not even in `master`), so I think you
should be good at least until 2030.
