I think we agree, let me rephrase to make sure ;)

The original entry stated "it doesn't work" (or it could be understood 
like this).

Users found it does work (for them) and as a consequence they dismissed 
the entire entry as incorrect/outdated/etc. and didn't bother to migrate 
(don't fix if working, etc.).

My intention is to explain that, while it may work in some cases, it's 
not something to rely on and users should migrate[1].

We could make it stronger by pointing out that it will definitely be 
disabled in bullseye and backports at the expense of making the entry 
slightly longer.

[1] if my wording does not convey this properly hopefully Justin will 
chime in to improve it ;)

Kind regards,
Andrei
