What?
Where? When? By whom?
"sh" was used to tag tens or hundreds of thousands of books worldwide
in "Serbo-Croatian", which means Serbian or Croatian, in Latin or
Cyrillic, for DECADES. There are far more many examples of hr-Latn
and sr-Cyrl that were tagged as sh than there are either of hr-Cyrl
or sr-Latin.

That particular recommendation seems to have little to do with reality.
