The reason they shouldn't was because we explicitly told them not to and they either didn't read the warning/info/docs or they didn't understand them or they thought it didn't apply to them. Removing the world target will not fix that. But removing the world target will make a lot of documentation wrong, about 22900 pages of documentation according to google. Even if we think that the 22000 pieces of documentation is copies of the handbook which will automatically be fixed, that leaves 900 pages too many.
