%makeinstall - must not or should not use it?

Hiyas,

the Packaging Guidelines contradict itself about the usage of %makeinstall

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-fcaf3e6fcbd51194a5d0dbcfbdd2fcb7791dd002

The headline says "Why the %makeinstall macro should not be used" and the 
first sentence says "RPM, as included in Fedora, includes a %makeinstall 
macro, but you must NOT use this macro in Fedora packages."

It seems to be used by a lot of maintainers, so is this just a should not or 
is this another candidate for a major specfile-cleanup project?

Regards,
Till
