There are uses for TimThumb other than backward compatibility in some
themes. To the best of my knowledge they are not in the repository yet, but
they are being considered. I would temper that point with "not to be used
for direct backward-compatibility of post_thumbnail" or something to that
effect.

TimThumb (current and security-safe) versions may be the most optimal way of
integrating other third party functionality. Something to consider before
making it "prohibited".

I think a tutorial on "how to migrate TimThumb-generated images using custom
fields over to the WordPress media manager." would also be very useful to
have.

I still need to read through more items, but the TimThumb issue strikes me
as a sensitive subject. I want to get it right the first time it goes into
the guidelines rather that having multiple re-writes on it.
