I think we should make it clear, that asking for recommendations of any kind is off-topic.

The current clause, initially introduced through this Meta topic reads:

and it is not about …

• [...]
• a shopping or buying recommendation

But we don't just consider shopping or buying recommendations off topic, but any kind of recommendation. Diago ♦ wrote an answer to my question here:

We've been very clear defining what is and isn't allowed, and any type of recommendation supposed to be off-topic. Hardware one's date quickly, but software one's also have issues with version upgrades, and requirements being specific to a scenario, so do we need one for every type of requirement each individual user has?

^{Emphasis mine}

In a comment, he later wrote:

The key is recommendation, not the shopping part. If your asking to recommend something to perform a task, your stepping on dangerous ground. […] the policy is in place network wide, and I can't see it changing anytime soon.

^{Consider the whole quote emphasized (didn't look good though, so I skipped doing that)}

I'm likely not the only user who missed this fact for a long time.

So let's put that into the FAQ to make it very clear:

and it is not about …

• [...]
• a shopping, buying, or product recommendation

I think we should keep shopping and buying to make it clear that we don't answer questions about what web shop's shipping policies are better.
