So it impacts the DAO and potentially impacts other deployed contracts (we don't know yet).
It's an issue with Solidity because it doesn't even do static analysis to give the programmar a warning.
It's not that programmers actively avoid doing this or are explicitly warned to not do it. When real money is at stake the language design needs to be a lot more careful.
