I think fundamental mode existed long before derived modes did. To say
it shouldn't be used directly by users is a bit strange, IMAO. I use it
fairly often, e.g. when I'm testing, and I want to clear out buffer local
variables from some buffer, or to re-initialise font locking, or
something like that.
