In a way, I believe you are contradicting yourself with that statement. You made a list of Don'ts without providing an alternative to what you purport to be bad practice. I would have given more credence to your list had you provided a "newer, better ways" of doing them. If you're not willing to write it yourself, at least provide URL's to existing documents.
Thanks.
done.

In all fairness - the title of the entry explicitly states this as a list of 'not to dos' - and it is a pretty good list and always good to remind yourself of these principals. I usually judge this genre of post by the number of offenses I know I have committed myself at some point yet have chastised/ranted to others when they have done the same ;-)
If this isn't your 1st bbq - chances are you know what/how you are supposed to be doing things but it's always good to remind yourself lest you(I) get lazy ...
