This isn't a change from how paranoia has been developed for the past
few years, but makes it more explicit.

I hope the recommendation against new projects using paranoia isn't too
controversial. I think anyone who has used this gem extensively has been
surprised by it many times. This is just the nature of replacing
ActiveRecord's behaviour. I believe paranoia does extremely well given
that it does that.

A lot of developers will reach for paranoia or acts_as_paranoid because
they're the first result they will find. However most users are just
looking to hide or disable some records, and they would do much better
to just toggle a flag rather than have paranoia override ActiveRecord's
behaviour on their model.

I hope linking to discard here isn't inappropriate, I believe it's the
best resource describe the caveats of paranoia as well as give a good
example of how to soft-delete without needing paranoia or
acts_as_paranoid.
