indeed. 

I guess in general this depends on the patch and the kind of recommendation
(eg "must use!" vs "should give a try"...)

(TBH currently I'm a bit sceptical that such a patch would also be too
 enthusiastic. That said, please do provide a bug with patch or an MR and
 we can then discuss it on its actual merrit. An MR would actually be
 preferred by me over a bug, but whatever works.
 Also I'm really also not convinced yet that we/dev-ref should recommend dgit
 for everyone and everthing right now. I do think it definitly should be
 mentioned and  then maybe/probably become recommended later.
