I just noticed that the UploadForm:BeforeProcessing hook appears to be deprecated in comments in the codebase[1], but that this deprecation is not mentioned in the documentation[2].
As per our conversation on IRC: the hook was deprecated because I was under the impression that it was used to break upload processing without showing any information to the user, which is BAD. I overlooked the fact that it was also used for other purposes, so I undeprecated it in r76341 [1].
