Sorry to be picky, but I think that's redundant.  A filter can not
possibly command something downstream to take an action, so saying
that it shant do so doesn't really have any weight.  Plus, not all
labels are intended to represent an analysis.  Maybe simply note that
labels contain comments, some of which may represent conclusions that
can be used by downstream processors if so desired.
