I remember reading this and the gmirror stuff at the same time and wondering what it was all about. Whilst I'm generally not in favour of chucking stuff out of a manual if it exists on the ground, at the very least this could do with a sanity warning. At the time I had no way of knowing whether one method or the other was deprecated. I suppose I made a lucky guess.
