Oh, don't hate anything. It is greatly appreciated so that we can cover "in such and such use case, this solution is good" variants for similarly-sounding-but-fundamentally-different classes of problems. We do not want to give a spinal-reflex answer of "use shallow" (or "use partial", for that matter) to "too large a repo" question without contexts that guide the readers to a better choice. That is where a well-organized FAQ list shines. Thanks.
