I have not stopped using it.  

I think you're referring to the following I wrote:

What I stopped using was the Black Only printing with Epson HP.  That paper prints so well with the dilute carbon inks that black only's increased roughness more than offsets the very small increase in neutrality with the BO approach.

This was in the context of when one needs a full Rip.  I find using an ICC made with QTR's Create ICC-RGB to be an easier workflow that will satisfy most users with less work and easier profiling.
