help encourage people not to use it in their designs unless they have
no choice.

 the case where there is a device on the bus that has errata and/or bugs
 that makes standard multimaster mode not feasible.
 
+Note that this scheme works well enough but has some downsides:
+* It is nonstandard (not using standard I2C multimaster)
+* Having two masters on a bus in general makes it relatively hard to debug
