Look I'm not saying it's wrong to not use stock, I'm just saying there are reasons for and against. The advice to not use stock a lot should not be held as gospel... my personal experience suggests to use stock whenever.

If you've written a massive script and had to maintain it for years then you'll know there are times when you remove references to variables or functions as a result of optimising or removal of a bugged feature (in order to keep a server playable). Traversing multiple source code files without a decent Pawn IDE can annoyingly be time consuming and/or you may want to keep a function or variable name reserved for use later on. Sometimes you might define the implementation of something while you have a working train of thought but not actually have a use for it until you've finished something else.

Writing large game modes usually involves writing a set of internal libraries, defining internal methods for developers in a team that may not be used yet. Extra warnings are usually non-useful noise to me.
